6.30am After a crazy morning getting the kids ready for school, I drink some warm water with fresh lemon.
9am An acai bowl from a cafe before meeting two friends for a bay walk. We walk and run 6½ kilometres, hitting my Fitbit goal of 10,000 steps before 11am.
11.30am After a few meetings and preparing for an interview, I have my lunch – which I prepared the night before – of a soba noodle salad with chicken, avocado, tomato, edamame and lettuce.
2.45pm I drink a hot chocolate and enjoy a protein ball snack with my two sons.
4pm Home to prepare dinner; tonight it is chicken curry, a family favourite .
8.30pm A liquorice tea and some chocolate.
Dr Joanna McMillan says:
Top marks for… Making your lunch the night before and taking it to work. Preparing your own meals means you are in control of ingredient quality. Soba noodles are made from buckwheat and are a much healthier option than rice or wheat noodles.
If you keep eating like this you'll… Have to be careful to ensure you get a wide variety of fibres. More plant foods would provide fermentable fibres that fuel a healthy gut microbiome.
Why don't you try… Snacking on a handful of nuts instead of a commercial protein ball; these are often made from processed protein and not as healthy as they claim. Add vegies to your curry and serve with dhal and wholegrain rice. Cafe-made acai bowls can be very sugary; add fresh whole fruit and a sprinkle of seeds.
