Top marks for… Starting the day with steak, a great way to front-load protein for appetite control and muscle support. Your structured meals, spot-on hydration and focus on wholefoods set a strong foundation for performance and recovery.
If you keep eating like this you’ll… Stay well fuelled but miss out on an optimal diversity of fibres, phytonutrients (from plants) and zoonutrients (from animals). Chicken and broccoli four times a day, even with potatoes and rice, can limit gut and overall health benefits.
Why don’t you try… Mixing your proteins with canned or fresh fish, hard-boiled eggs or yoghurt to boost calcium, omega-3s and other nutrients. Broccoli is great but adding colourful veg and legumes would broaden your nutrient base. And with all that wholefood protein, the protein bar might not be needed.
