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.'
