Dr Joanna McMillan says<\/p>\n
Top marks for… Fuelling consistently with carbs and protein across a high-demand day; your timing is spot-on for performance stamina. The stir-fry is a winner for boosting your vegetable intake, while the apple ticked one fruit box (you need just one more).<\/p>\n
If you keep eating like this you\u2019ll… Stay energised and support recovery, but regular use of processed meats, shakes and multiple electrolyte drinks daily could push up your sodium intake, endangering your heart and meaning that you miss out on the benefits from wholefoods.<\/p>\n
Why don\u2019t you try… Swapping the protein shake for a homemade blend of milk, yoghurt, berries, nuts and seeds. It\u2019s still quick but packs in fibre, healthy fats and antioxidants while squeezing those missing foods into your day. Ensure your bread is high in fibre and swap the ham for unprocessed cold meat, canned fish or hard-boiled egg.<\/p>\n
