My Day on a Plate

One thing you will learn when you work with me is that I truly believe nutrition should be simple. Regardless if you have 5 or 50kg to lose, nutrition shouldn’t be as complicated as it can sometimes seem in the media. I thought one way to prove my point would be to show you My Day on A Plate!, Simple nutrition using ingredients that we can all find easily in the supermarket, grocer and butcher.

6.20am

Get up, shower and get ready for work

I usually have a big glass of water, some apple cider vinegar and take my vitamins

6.55am

I then eat my breakfast which is 2 eggs scrambled with 2 handsful of greens, salt and pepper. Sometimes I’ll add some avocado, lemon and coriander and other times I may add a slice of seeded sourdough. It takes 5 minutes to prepare.

After arriving at work, I also have a coffee most mornings – I am trying to wind this habit down to the weekends only. If the truth be told, I don’t need it, it’s just a ritual!

11am

Only sometimes do I feel pekish mid morning. If I do, as it is close to lunch, I'll have a small snack and usually it is a piece of fruit like a mandarin or small apple with some nuts.

1pm

Lunch varies but it is usually something which I have most days of that week. In summer it will be something similar to a salad with greens, tomato, broccoli, bok choy, cucumber, brown rice, fish of some description, herbs and a lemon dressing. It’s satisfying and filling. In winter, I’ll make a big pot of soup to enjoy or left over roasted vegetables and chicken. The roasted vegetables could be pumpkin, beetroot, carrot, onion with some steamed veggies like bok choy, kale, cabbage or cauliflower. I use lots of spices like paprika, turmeric, cumin, chilli and ginger to make it interesting and nourishing.

4pm

I do start to feel a little pekish around this time, so I will have 1 date and 2 brazil nuts. I love both but honestly, 1 date takes that sweetness craving away. On some occasions I will have a small amount of chocolate instead and most of the time I try to have dark chocolate.

Gym

I mix my training up so some days it’s in the morning and other days it’s in the evening. When it is in the evening it is 7-8pm and its my time. I really get into my workouts so I feel de-stressed and relaxed after them.

8pm

Like a lot of people, trying to fit everything in, can sometimes mean eating dinner later than desired. So we just have to accommodate and do the best we can. That is why I try to ensure my night time meal is packed with loads of vegetables and a lean meat or fish. It’s satisfying and not too heavy.

After dinner ideally I like to have a tea, but truth is I don’t mind a little snack after dinner. Mine is usually a small amount of greek yoghurt with a sprinkle of nuts.
