@emthenutritionist: WHAT I EAT IN A DAY AS A NUTRITIONIST Breakfast: hot honey eggs on sourdough with avocado paired with a vanilla protein collagen matcha. Why: High in protein to keep me satisfied all morning and improve satiety to avoid mid morning slumps. Chilli flakes contain a powerful antioxidant capsicum which can further balance my blood sugar. Avocados are a source of fibre, healthy fats and skin-loving vitamins. Vanilla collagen from @myprotein adds an extra boost of protein to my breakfast which is so delicious and easy to drink. Matcha is my favourite slow release caffeine to leave me energised for the morning. This combination keeps me going all the way to lunch. Lunch: Tuna crunch toasted bagels Why: A quick lunch that I can make between meetings. I add lots of extra vegetables and herbs to my tuna mix to support my gut health with lots of lovely diversity. I swap mayo for yoghurt to get in extra calcium, and vitamin B12. Tuna is a great lean protein providing lots of lovely B vitamins and dietary vitamin D. Dinner: Creamy roasted red pepper pasta with lentil pasta Why: Red peppers are packed full of vitamin C which supports the functioning of your immune system. I like to make a creamy sauce with nutrient dense cashews to get in extra minerals like iron, zinc and also magnesium which can aid in my sleep. Lentil pasta provides a boost of fibre and protein compared to regular wheat pasta making it a nice swap. Snack: Peppermint tea and 70% dark chocolate Why: peppermint tea helps settle and soothe my gut after a day of eating. Dark chocolate is packed full of antioxidants called polyphenols which can feed my good gut bacteria in turn reducing inflammation and promoting good gut health. #wieiad #whatieayinaday #wieiadrealistic
