Dr Joanna McMillan says
Top marks for⦠Your focus on wholefoods and their variety. Each meal contains a protein-rich ingredient, helping with appetite and muscle metabolism, while colourful vegetables, fruit and fermented foods such as Greek yoghurt are great for gut health. That egg and veg breakfast is a strong start to the day.
If you keep eating like this youβllβ¦ Be giving your body a solid nutritional foundation to support energy, your immune system and hormone balance. But watch the snacks and nibbles through the afternoon and evening as they can make it harder to tune into hunger cues, especially with energy-dense foods like chocolate and chips.
Why donβt you tryβ¦ Swapping ghee and butter for extra virgin olive oil; the heart-healthy fats and polyphenols offer benefits beyond flavour. And while prebiotic powders can be useful, wholegrains and legumes provide prebiotics in a complete food matrix, with nutrients and beneficial phytochemicals powders simply canβt match. Adding quinoa, barley or chickpeas would help.
