Dr Joanna McMillan says:
Top marks for… Hmmm, well, the probiotic drink and the fibre from your wholegrain bread are good for gut health (though burning the toast does produce potential carcinogens). While not the healthiest salad, your caesar does contain lettuce, your only veg for the day, and the hummus is fabulously nutrient-rich.
If you keep eating like this you’ll… Fall short on many nutrients as you don’t have enough of a balanced diet’s core foods. You risk long-term impacts on your physical and mental health as a result of nutrient deficiencies.
Why don’t you try… Getting more wholefoods into breakfast and lunch and having a lighter snack in the evening after your shows. Add eggs and vegies such as avocado, spinach, mushrooms, asparagus and tomato to your toast. Rather than a caesar salad, have the chicken with dark leafy greens, other chopped vegetables, legumes such as canned beans and an olive oil-based dressing.
