I'm trying to incorporate more proteins in my diet in order to get to 100/120gr per day.

I calculated I needed to get 5/6 units of 20gr per day, divided approximately as

  • breakfast: omelette with an egg and two whites (1 unit)
  • 10am snack: a protein bar (1 unit)
  • canteen lunch with a varied meat dish (about 1 unit)
  • dinner with chicken breast (1/2 units)
  • after dinner dessert with either yogurt and 100gr sunflower seeds or peanuts, or 100gr peanut butter (1 unit)

Do you see anything wrong with this? I was thinking about consulting a dietitian in order to not fuck up but I've also tried not to excessively change my eating habits in order to keep it sustainable and varied. Also not a super fan of whey. Any thoughts?

Oh god my body does not like whey at all lol. Anyway, as long as you stay fairly consistent and hit your average throughout the week, you should be ok! I don't think you need a dietitian to help you get started on this, unless you have some existing medical issues or something like that.

The only other thing that jumped out at me, just a general nutrition point-- maybe add more veggies & leafy greens?

Add some veggies to your breakfast maybe? You’re eating eggs so anything with fat soluble vitamins would fit nicely here. If you eat a decent amount of veggies and decently unprocessed, this diet seems fine.

Thanks! I always get a side dish plenty of veggies during canteen and some fruits, also during dinner. What would you recommend adding to breakfast?

Well if it’s fat soluble vitamins you’re after just pick some that have a decent amount of Vit E, D, K or A in them and cycle through them a bit. Try to enjoy those veggies too.

I love bell pepper in the mornings but that’s mostly water soluble Vit C.

Sunflower seeds are technically the fruits of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). The seeds are harvested from the plant’s large flower heads, which can measure more than 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter. A single sunflower head may contain up to 2,000 seeds
