THE VERDICT

-

Gabby eats a balanced, varied diet that contains a healthy mix of regular meals and snacks. Adding wholegrain, starchy carbs at breakfast will increase her fibre intake – supporting her gut health and providing a slow release of energy. She could have a slice of brown toast with her omelette or top her yoghurt with muesli.

Gabby has more than two portions of fish (including oily fish such as sardines and salmon) a week in her diet, which is great. Fish is a good source of protein, needed for building and repairing muscle, and oily fish is particular­ly high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep the heart healthy and skin nourished. While Gabby consumes two to four portions of fruit and veg daily, and makes great efforts to include them at most meals, she can increase her intake further by snacking on whole fruits or vegetables, along with nuts or seeds for a more sustained energy release. The TYG drink Gabby consumes contains probiotics to support her gut health – and her regular servings of Greek yoghurt will deliver micro bio me supporting probiotics, too.
