People often assume nutritionists live on lettuce leaves and green smoothies, but the truth is much less exciting and much more practical.
This morning’s breakfast was two poached eggs, grilled mushrooms and grilled vegetables, a cup of English Breakfast tea with almond milk, a bowl of natural yoghurt topped with chia seeds, walnuts and almonds, plus a glass of magnesium citrate.
What I’m looking for at breakfast is protein, fibre and healthy fats because they help keep me fuller for longer and help reduce the temptation to snack later in the day.
The eggs provide high-quality protein, the vegetables and mushrooms add fibre and nutrients, and the chia seeds are one of my favourite additions because they contain fibre, omega-3 fats and help support digestive health. Walnuts and almonds provide healthy fats, fibre and additional protein, making the meal much more satisfying.
People are often surprised when I say that a splash of almond milk in tea contains significantly fewer calories than many oat milk alternatives. Small changes repeated every day can make a surprisingly big difference over time.
And finally, my magnesium citrate. For me, it helps keep everything moving nicely in the digestive department, which is something many people struggle with, particularly as they get older or if they’re taking weight-loss injections.
Nothing fancy, nothing expensive, no dieting, just real food that keeps me energised, satisfied and feeling my best.
