Hello all,
I want to be as healthy as possible with glowing skin. I’m currently eating 2800 calories as part of a bulking phase for weightlifting and bodybuilding. I want to ensure that my diet is as micronutrient rich as possible. Currently, here are the fruits and vegetables I try to eat on a daily basis:
80-150g spinach, sometimes blended in a drink & sometimes boiled
100g blueberries, mixed into my Greek yogurt or blended in a drink
2-3 kiwis
200g carrots, boiled
200g broccoli, boiled
Some days I’ll swap the carrots and broccoli if I only have time to prepare one or the other.
The rest of my diet is fairly simple, consisting of any combination of chicken breast and salmon with oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, and whey protein powder. Along with varying amounts of olive oil when it comes to cooking all this stuff.
Is this a good choice of fruits and vegetables for my nutritional goals? Any vitamins/amino acids I might be missing? Thanks!
