Nutritionist Naini Setalvad recommends...
She really needs to improve her diet as QUICK as possible. Her diet is too high in protein. Excess protein can damage the kidney by increasing blood pressure and leaching calcium from the body. There are absolutely no fruits in her diet which are a main source of anti-oxidants which protects our body against diseases. Her gorging on chocolates indicates there is probably a deficiency of vitamins and minerals.

BREAKFAST: Her breakfast before she goes to the gym could be two bananas. After working out, she could have two whole wheat bread sandwich (filled with veggies) and two egg whites which will be a balance of protein and carbohydrates. It is best to get protein from natural sources. Protein shakes are not advisable, as they are not natural.

LUNCH: Her lunch could be accompanied with salads and vegetables which are rich in fibre, minerals, vitamin and anti-oxidants. Either paneer or dal is advisable as one source of protein is more than enough.

MID EVENINGS: It would be great to have dry fruits, nuts and fruits. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals and proteins.

DINNER: Her dinner is fine. If she is eating white rice, she can also switch to brown rice.
