Food Log evaluation

Image
 Below I give suggestions for the following first food log of a student.  What would you add to the suggestions? My comments:  "It's great to get a baseline established, and you've got a good starting point.  A few suggestions: let's add a protein to each snack, fortify what we can, and forget about what looks like a traditional 'lunch' or 'dinner--think in terms of nutrients in.  We're aiming for 85-100 grams of protein a day, with as many 100 gram days as we can. "Try some of these:  Trailmix and any kind of nut (add to your yogurt too) cheese sticks, any kind of cheese beef jerky whole grain toast and cream cheese + jam/ honey  hardboiled eggs or scrambled egg bites granola made with lots of seeds and nuts, dried fruit (ask for my recipe) rotisserie chicken, deboned and cut into pieces fish sticks Think more about getting enough of the nutrients than if it feels/ looks like a true 'breakfast' or 'midnight snack.'
