My daily eating guide

-

Breakfast: 7.30am-9am It’s like they always say: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It kickstarts your digestion and metabolism and feeds your body with the vitamins and minerals it needs to perform. Try to eat within one hour of waking, and always include protein and fat. Have your one coffee around this time too. Snack: 11am Have your green juice and a small snack around mid-morning. Snacks must contain a protein component and are optional – tune in to your appetite. Lunch: 12.30pm-1pmCombine dark leafy greens with one or two servings of protein, one unit of good fat and one unit of starch – your choice of starchy veggies, gluten-free grains or legumes. Chances are you’ll feel fuller when you add a portion of fat. Lunch will ensure your body slowly releases energy over the rest of the day so you don’t experience an afternoon slump. Snack: 4pm-5pm Choose a protein-rich snack to keep your blood sugar stable until dinner. Avoid coffee and fruit in the afternoon – they won’t do your cravings, stress or blood-sugar levels any favours. Dinner: 7pm Dinner should be your lightest meal of the day. A protein with lots of greens or a small portion of starchy carbs (like sweet potato, pumpkin, quinoa or brown rice) is a good choice.
