Macey Brickweg RDN, LD
Hi, I’m Macey, your Registered Dietitian based in St. Cloud, Minnesota. I earned my Nutrition degree from the College of Saint Benedict and completed my dietetic internship through CentraCare at St. Cloud Hospital.

I know that nutrition and food choices can sometimes feel confusing or stressful, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m here to make it simple, realistic, and enjoyable. I truly believe all foods can have a place in a balanced diet, and my favorite part of being a dietitian is helping people find ways to make healthy eating work for their life, without guilt or feeling overwhelmed.

When I’m not talking about nutrition, you’ll probably find me lifting weights, practicing yoga, getting lost in a book, or hanging out with friends and family!

Dietitian's Choice

After reviewing recommendations from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, American Heart Association, FDA, USDA, World Health Organization, Mayo Clinic and Harvard School of Public Health, we developed our own guidelines for "better for you" options found in our stores.

Note: These recommendations are for the general population. If you have any concerns for special diets, please feel free to reach out to any of our Registered Dietitians.

OUR DIETITIAN’S CHOICE ITEMS FOCUS ON:

  • Whole Grains
  • Little to no added sugar
  • Lower in saturated fat
  • Lower sodium
  • Lean protein
  • Healthy fats

Due to the complexity of various products on the market, we use general guidelines along with our discretion to help our guests shop for more nutritious options.
