Hi Mat!
I’m no nutritionist I just go with Anthony’s splits on the macronutrients J
You have protein well sorted form a variety of sources- great to see fish in the mix.
I love the fact that your fats are coming from “wholefood” sources – almonds may be “fat bombs” to some people but they carry a far greater nutritional charge than double deckers.
Your choice of carbs is spot on too- nice and “whole” plenty of fibre, more good fats and nice slow release of energy.
Great to see a good mix of veggies and salads- so many blokes just eat bananas and spuds with nothing red,orange, yellow, blue or green in the mix.
Dairy? – cant see any milk or yoghurt in there, but maybe you are using it to make your shakes.
Soya or cows milk is s useful source of calcium, but you can get enough from leafy green veg, the bones of tined fish such as salmon, and nuts contain it too.
If have a great Mansized “steamed chicken” recipe- it would be an easy “hands free “way for you to cook a pack of chicken breasts.
If you make a pocket and spread a filling in them you get a cool stripe down the middle and lot more flavour than plain meat.
Shall I send the recipe to you?
I sometimes add a little Chinese 5 spices onto my chicken, but luckily I love the natural taste of chicken so it doesn't get boring for me. The only thing I add is balsamic vinegar into my salads. Gotta admit I love fish, brought two mackerels from the fish counter yesterday, yummy, got salmon tonight :-)
The only milk I have is when I eat my Weetabix, and even then it's not much, I don't really like the stuff. I used to have a pot of Yeo Valley natural yogurt everyday but I got sick of them after a while. The protein shake I have before bed contains calcium, and that's without mixing it with milk.
Luckily I'm not a fan of chocolate bars, even before I started eating cleanly, so I can easily sit here and watch other people eat them.
