Food Log evaluation
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.'
