Our ‘Eat Leon in a day’ menus are based on the Government recommended calorie intakes for the day; they have been devised by our favourite nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston from Foods for Life.   

She holds clinics in Harley St. and Croydon specialising in stress management, digestive health,  food intolerances, skin health, hormonal health, fertility and weight management..  Yvonne has appeared on the BBC, GMTV, Sky & ITN news and is regularly featured in various magazines and the national press. She is also a published author, for further details see www.optimumnutritionists.com

Healthy man 19-50 years

Start the day with slow release energy from porridge topped with seeds rich in brain-boosting fats. Regular snacks help to keep energy and concentration levels stable and help power you at the gym if that is part of your day (pick these up with your breakfast or lunch to save time). Plenty of fruit and veg are included for fibre, vitamins and minerals. Ideally have your main meal at lunch and salad for dinner but if you are short of time at lunch swap these around.

Pregnant woman last trimester

Pack in the nutrients for your baby and you by having regular meals rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals. Essential fats are also vital for baby’s brain and nervous system development so daily flax seeds in these dishes are a bonus. The superfood salad provides more of these vital omega-3 fats but do restrict your oily fish consumption to just twice a week and stick to seeds the rest of the time. If you are still exercising (safely of course) then add the Aioli sauce as you are more likely to burn off the extra calories.
