Top marks for⦠Getting eggs into your lunch as you had almost no protein until then. Eggs are also incredibly nutritious, providing 13 nutrients including vitamin D, choline, which is essential for brain function, and lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants which are important for eye health.
If you keep eating like this youβllβ¦ Risk drawing calcium from your bones as you lack dairy or calcium-rich alternatives. Both the amount and diversity of fibre types is low, with no wholegrains, legumes, nuts, seeds or cruciferous veg. You also lack magnesium-rich foods.
Why donβt you tryβ¦ Boosting calcium by adding Greek yoghurt to breakfast, choosing calcium-fortified almond milk, or having feta with your eggs. Boost fibre by opting for wholegrain sourdough and adding beans and quinoa to your salad. Nuts and seeds are rich in magnesium, as is dark chocolate, so make that your sweet treat.
