Emily English (@emthenutritionist) is a Kings College London-trained nutritionist and online influencer who has amassed a large following on social media for sharing helpful nutrition and weight loss tips and recipes with her followers. “What I eat in a day as a nutritionist,” she captioned an Instagram video, revealing the delicious meals that fill her plate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.


Breakfast: Turkish Eggs with Pesto and Sourdough

@emthenutritionist

WHAT I EAT IN A DAY AS A NUTRITIONIST 🫶🏻 AD For breakfast I made my favourite ‘get the glow’ avocado toast. I mix my avocado with lots of basil, spring onion, a crumble of feta and a scattering of prepared pomegranate seeds. A little sprinkle gives my dishes a boost of fibre, glow-giving vitamins C, B vitamins and a huge hit of antioxidants. I always have a pot in my fridge to give my dishes an extra boost of nutrition – with none of the mess! You can sprinkle them on almost anything, a healthy and easy way to elevate on-repeat dishes. Lunch was my kale Caesar salad with crispy garlic chickpeas. I use yoghurt in my signature dressing which gives a gorgeous creamy tang and helps soften the kale. The chickpeas provide a hit of fibre and protein and give a crunch that is reminiscent of the usual croutons. Dinner was my chicken Romesco bowl. Roast the hazelnuts until they smell lovely and toasty and simply blend with roasted peppers, smoked paprika, vinegar, garlic and olive oil. It creates the most gorgeous smoky sauce that pairs so well with the sweet pop of pomegranate seeds. If you do anything this week, give these recipes a try! You’ll find prepared pomegranate seeds in all major supermarkets. #wieiad #whatieat #whatieayinaday #poppinpoms

“I always like a high-protein breakfast to set me up for the day,” Emily says in the clip, revealing her plate of Turkish eggs with pesto and toasted sourdough. “It’s filling and also full of calcium and vitamin C to support my smile,” she says.

Lunch: Peanut Slaw with Chicken

“For lunch, I made my crunchy honey peanut slaw with chicken. Fresh, vibrant, and full of gut-feeding fiber to keep me sustained and my microbes well fed,” she continued.

“For dinner, I recipe tested this super green kale pasta,” she said. “Simply sauté all the greens until soft, blend with stock, parmesan, basil and a little milk to create this gorgeously green sauce packed full of goodness. I served with baked trout for a hit of omega 3.”

“Dinner was my chicken Romesco bowl with roasted hazelnuts, roasted peppers, smoked paprika, a little bit of vinegar, garlic and olive oil,” she continues. “It creates the most gorgeous smoky sauce that pairs so well with the sweet pop of pomegranate seeds. This is your science. Go and grab a pack of prepared pomegranate seeds for a healthy and easy way to elevate your dishes. I honestly just scatter them on everything. I wound down with a golden milk tea and a warm mince pie.”

Senada Greca is flaunting her washboard abs in a new mirror selfie. In a recent social media post, Kim Kardashian’s trainer shows off her enviable midsection in a photo she took of herself and shared via her Instagram Stories. How does the fitness trainer and model eat to maintain her famous figure? Here is everything you need to know about her diet.


Here Is What She Eats in a Day on Vacation

“Vacation routine and what I eat in a day - or rather what I ate on this day,” Senada explained in a recent post, detailing her healthy routine. For breakfast, Senada had four scrambled eggs with feta and a side of turkey and bacon. Next up, a bowl of blueberries and strawberries. For lunch, she enjoyed tacos with a chicken Caesar salad and an ice cream sandwich. For dinner, she ate grilled sea bass with vegetables, a side of bread, and a fruit bowl.

Here Is What She Might Eat in a Day at Home

In a separate video, she revealed what another day of eating looks like for her. For breakfast she had four scrambled eggs with pita, tzatziki, cucumber, and tomato salad. Then, for lunch, she had mixed greens, sweet potato, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, goat cheese, double salmon, olive oil, and lemon. After her workout she made a protein shake made with plant milk and chocolate protein, and cacao. Dinner consisted of a Caesar salad with double the portion of grilled chicken and “way too much dressing,” she joked. For a snack she ate some blueberries and raspberries.

She Is a “Flexible Eater”

Senada_Greca2senada.greca/Instagram

Senada is a “flexible eater,” she told Glamour. “My main focus is getting enough protein daily; carbs and fats fill the rest of my macros, which I intuitively track. I suggest that most people do track their macros, especially in the beginning of their fitness journey, so as to learn what the proper way of feeding ones’ self looks like.”

Water with Lemon

Senada starts her day with a gut-friendly beverage. “I wake up daily at 6:30AM. First thing I do after washing up, is have a full glass of room temperature water with half a lemon,” she told Ryder Wear.

Sweet Treats

Senada has a sweet tooth. “I can't lie, though; on most nights, I do crave something sweet. I typically have a banana and almond butter which satisfies that sweet tooth, but occasionally I do have some ice cream or a bar of chocolate with hazelnuts, it’s my favourite type of chocolate,” she told Ryder Wear.

Nour T (@nourrtann/) is a social media influencer who shares her diet and fitness hacks – specifically about how she lost a whopping 40 pounds in just 5 months. In one of her viral videos, she reveals everything she eats in a day “as someone who believes in a balanced and realistic lifestyle and has seen great results from it.” In total she consumes 176 grams of protein. Here is everything you need to know about her diet.


Salt Water

@nourrtann

the amount of protein i intake without even trying amazes me sometimes, i have mastered how to sneak it into any and everything 🤪 #wieiad #balancedeating #balanceddiet #highproteinmeals #whatieatinaday @Ancient Bliss @Nespresso @canprev @drinklmnt @EarthsOwn @Torani @Oikos

“I always hydrate with salt water. I am loving these flavored ones lately,” she says, holding up LMNT electrolyte packets. “And if you're into drinking alcohol, instead of using pop or juice, mix these in instead because they have tons of electrolytes which will save you from a hangover, and they're so good,” she suggests.

High Protein Ice Cream

“Post-workout, I have this high protein strawberry cheesecake ice cream. This has 61 grams of protein, and if you're too lazy to wait for it to freeze, you can literally have it as a smoothie. It is so good and super creamy,” she says.

“I talk about coffee 24/7, so if you're new here, this is the Double Dolce pod from Nespresso. I use it all the time,” she says. “I have it with oat milk and sugar-free vanilla, and then cinnamon Dolce, which I had no idea until recently, is pretty much brown sugar and cinnamon. It is my favorite combo.”

Here Is What She Eats for Breakfast

Nour_T_nourrtann2_ceda6cnourrtann/TikTok

Her “new breakfast obsession” is a mashed up concoction. “I could have this every single day. Half a cup of cottage cheese. If you don't like it, grow up. It has no taste and it just adds so much protein to your meals,” she says. She adds an avocado and two soft boiled eggs, “hard boiled if you're a loser,” she quips. “And then you're going to add your seasoning, some green onion and mash it all up. I also pair it with these mini sweet bell peppers and chicken sausages, and I'm telling you guys, this combo is unreal. Give it a try and let me know what you think. I'm really curious because everyone that I've shown it to has loved it.”

Supplements

Next up, supplements. “It is really important to pair good fats with vitamin D, so I make sure to take that supplement after my first meal with this magnesium complex,” she says, holding up a bottle that also includes vitamin D and K2, which “go hand in hand so please take them together,” she says. “Saffron and L-Theanine are great for moods, especially in the winter.”

Here Is What She Eats for Lunch

Next up, lunch. “I also had a Greek salad with my homemade Greek yogurt dressing super high in protein and so good,” she says.

Here Is What She Eats for Dinner

“For dinner I had these Big Mac tacos. Now, I don't know who invented this idea, but it is one of the best dinners ever,” she says, showing off the two tacos drenched in beef, a thousand island sauce, and pickles.

More Supplements

“Of course, magnesium glycinate before bed. This is my number one supplement. The benefits are endless. If you're not taking it, you aren't missing out,” she says.

She Practices “Volume Eating”

Nour_T_nourrtann6nourrtann/TikTok

In another viral video, Nour explains that her method of eating is dubbed volume eating. “In my opinion, the most sustainable way to lose weight without tracking calories or stressing out is volume eating. Volume eating is in no means a diet plan. It is actually just a technique,” she says. The Diet Diva, Tara Collingwood, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD/N, ACSM-CPT, a Board Certified Sports Dietitian agrees that no one likes to eat like a mouse, and “if your eyes can see a larger amount of food, it tells the brain that you are getting a decent portion and that it should feel full.”

It Involves Eating Large Amounts of Low Calorie Foods

“You're basically mainly eating large amounts of low calorie foods, so some examples of that would be like instead of having a cup of rice, you would have a half cup of rice and then a half cup of cauliflower rice,” she says. “Low calorie foods tend to have higher water content (fruits and veggies) and also fiber to keep you full longer. You can eat more volume and fill up without contributing a lot of calories,” explains Collingwood.

Who do celebrities turn to when they want to achieve the ultimate Pilates body? Nonna Gleyzer (@thebodybynonna), is a Los Angeles based Pilates pro, whose client list includes Gisele Bundchen, Kelly Rowland, Kerry Washington, and Emma Roberts. The Body Network recently talked to the celebrity trainer to get all the details about her own approach to fitness – including everything she eats and drinks and the supplements she takes.


Moderation Is Key, She Says

Nonna_Gleyzer26Nonna Gleyzer

Gleyzer’s overall approach: Moderation is key. “I believe everything should be taken in moderation and as much as we want to look good and try to eat clean, it’s equally important to treat yourself with yummy foods that bring vitality, joy, and hormones to the body and mind,” she explains to us. “I keep my diet very simple.”

She Drinks Water Every Morning

Nonna_Gleyzer12Nonna Gleyzer

She starts the day with a big glass of water. “It helps with hydration, is great for digestion, promotes smooth bowel movement and is great for metabolism and detoxifications,” she says, adding that she doesn’t put any lemon in it. “I usually hydrate myself before a meal, but I do not drink water during and after my meal,” she adds. Water dilutes stomach acid and it becomes hard for the digestion to digest the food,” she says.

30 Minutes After, She Has Breakfast

Nonna_Gleyzer27Nonna Gleyzer

She waits “about 20-30 minutes after I drink the water and then have breakfast,” says Gleyzer. Her usual breakfast is two hard boiled eggs with some steamed spinach. “I put some high quality olive oil, a few brown rice crackers and almond butter,” she says. “I believe having lots of good fats and protein in the morning gets your system ready and gives energy for the whole day.” If she’s in a rush, she will make herself a vegan protein shake with lots of berries, bananas and almond milk.”

Lunch Is Protein with Greens and Soup

Nonna_Gleyzer29Nonna Gleyzer

Lunch is usually a big salad with lots of different greens and a side of protein like grilled chicken or turkey. “I also try to have some kind of soup for lunch. It can be any kind of vegan soup, or chicken soup broth. It feels good to have some water in the body in the middle of the day. It helps to digest the protein too,” she says. It also helps her feel more full and keeps her satiated until dinner.

Dinner Is Similar

Nonna_Gleyzer25Nonna Gleyzer

Her dinner is simple and similar to her lunch. “It usually contains some kind of protein, lots of greens and soup,” she says.

She Indulges When She Eats Out

Nonna_Gleyzer23Nonna Gleyzer

When she eats out she allows herself whatever she's craving. “I do not limit myself. So good pasta, pizza and a yummy dessert is something I do a few times per week as I love Italian food,” she says. She also loves sushi and miso soup, although “miso is high in sodium, it’s filled with good minerals, probiotics, and is so yummy.”

Evening Treat

“I also have a dark chocolate almond every around 3 to4pm with a cup of passion flower or chamomile tea,” she says. “Studies suggest that passionflower works by increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a naturally-occurring amino acid that reduces activity in the central nervous system.” Chamomile is full of antioxidants, which “help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation,” hse says. “It’s very calming and it feels good to have it at the end of the day to calm the nervous symptoms down.” Dark chocolate is “my happy food” she adds.

She Takes These Supplements

Nonna_Gleyzer4Nonna Gleyzer

She also takes a bunch of supplements, starting with bromelain and quercetin, which she has first thing in the morning with a glass of warm water. She explains that bromelain “has a long history of use by herbalists and is known to support immune systems as well as digestive systems as well as good for the joints and inflammation,” while quercetin offer anti-microbial properties, “has a rapid metabolism and is excreted without accumulation in the body.” She also takes bromeliad with every meal that contains protein, as it helps digest protein and aids in inflammation, she says. She also takes cod liver oil gels, “every morning after breakfast and another one after lunch” to help with heart health, nerve pain, and immune support. She takes biotin, vitamins D3 and K2, Omega 3, MCT Oil, Vitamin C, and beef gelatin. “Beef gelatin is high in proline and glycine, which has been shown to help joint health, immune system and production of collagen. Furthermore, beef gelatin powder benefits our hair and nails as well, which also rely on collagen to promote growth and a healthy appearance” she says. “I take one scoop in the glass of water every morning and before I go to sleep. It helps with relaxation of the nervous system and improves sleep too.”

She Follows This Food Rule

Nonna_Gleyzer1Nonna Gleyzer

Nonna also follows a food rule. “When I have protein I have it only with vegetables,” she says. “I do the same with carbs. Any kind of carb I only eat with veggies but never with protein,” she says. “Fruit should be eaten on its own too and preferably an hour later after a meal regardless if it was protein and veg or carbs with vegetables or before meals (due to the fact it is fast digesting).” Healthy fats like avocado are neutral and can be paired with most foods, she says.

She Avoids Nightshade Vegetables

She also tries to stay away from nightshade vegetables, “like tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant,” she says. “They are very acidic and create inflammation in the body.” However, once in a while she will indulge in tomatoes.

💪🔥Body Booster: According to the NIH, individuals in good health “engage in highly routine health behaviors,” like Nonna. “For example, those successful at maintaining weight loss often eat the same foods, engage in consistent exercise, and do not skip meals,” they say.

Ariana Grande is looking leggy in her leotard while dancing with her Wicked costar, Cynthia Erivo. In a new social media post the singer actress shows off her strong legs while rehearsing behind-the-scenes for the holiday blockbuster film. How does the singer-slash-actress keep herself fueled up for performances? Here is everything you need to know about her diet.


She Is Vegan

Ariana decided to adopt a meat-free lifestyle in 2013 after watching the documentary Forks Over Knives. "I love animals more than I love most people, not kidding," she told The Mirror. "But I am a firm believer in eating a full plant-based, whole-food diet that can expand your life length and make you an all-round happier person.”

She Quit Eating Junk Food

Ariana often gets accused of having an eating disorder. However, she maintains that she majorly slimmed down when she quit eating processed foods. "The reason why I lost so much weight as I did is because I used to live on junk food," Ariana confessed in a Tumblr post (per E! Online). "So I drastically changed my eating habits, started exercising daily, and I'm all around a healthier me."

She Eats Organic

You also won’t find Ariana eating foods with chemicals in preservatives in them. She revealed to The Mirror that she has abided by an organic diet her entire life. "I've eaten organically since I was little,” she said.

Her Diet Is Produce-Centric

Because she is vegan, Ariana’s diet involves tons of produce. “It is tricky dining out, but I just stick to what I know–veggies, fruit, and salad–then, when I get home, I’ll have something else," she told The Mirror.

She Eats Berries Daily

Ariana is a big fan of berries. "I've had at least five strawberries a day since I can remember. They're my favorite food!" she revealed in one tweet. Why should you consider adding berries to your diet? Not only are they packed with antioxidants and have very few calories, they are a great way to satiate your sweet tooth.

She Also Eats Nuts

She also snacks on almonds and cashews. "They make great healthy snacks to keep me energized throughout my day!" she told Shape. Nuts, while high in calories, are packed with good fats and will help keep you full.

Japanese Is Her Favorite Cuisine

While she is from an Italian family, her vegan diet makes it hard to indulge. According to her trainer Harley Pasternak, Japanese is now her go-to cuisine. "She loves daikon, lotus, adzuki beans—almost like a macrobiotic Japanese [diet]," he told Glamour in 2015.

Her Family Tries to Get Her to Eat Meat

While she will indulge in plant-based meatballs, Ariana claims her family is constantly trying to get her to indulge. “I don’t think they forget; I think they don’t want to remember,” she joked on the Hot Ones podcast about her family offering her non-vegan Italian food. 'My nonna always offers me meatballs and I'm like ‘No, thank you, I’m still plant-based.’”

She Loves Smoothies

Pasternak told Popsugar in 2017 that the singer is a fan of his smoothies. “She makes a lot of my smoothies,” he said. “So for the body-reset smoothies, she’ll make the white smoothie, red smoothie, and green smoothie.”

She Hydrates

Ariana also prioritizes hydration. In addition to drinking lots of water, she is obsessed with coconut water. “I always have a bottle next to me,” she told Shape. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

Are you going on Ozempic but want to avoid some common errors while taking the weight loss drug? One pharmacist is losing weight on a GLP-1 and has some expert advice. Lindsey Guldenschuh is a pharmacist who shares information with her followers about GLP-1 drugs, as both an expert and someone on them. In a new post, she reveals some things she wished she knew before she went on them. “About to start a GLP-1 for weight loss? Let’s make sure you actually set yourself up for success from the start,” she says. Don’t make these mistakes.”

She Wishes She Knew These Things Before She Went on a GLP-1

She starts the post by admitting that she wishes she had more information before she started taking weight loss drugs. “When I started mine, I had to piece together info from a hundred places—no one really told me what to expect or how to do this in a way that actually felt sustainable,” she says. “Here are 5 things I wish I knew from the beginning.”

Track Your Calories

Make sure to know how much you are eating, as lots of people fail to eat enough. “Track your calories—but don’t under-eat,” she suggests. “Yes, you need a calorie deficit to lose fat, but many people under-eat on a GLP-1. Prioritize protein, eat enough, and stop fearing food.”

Hydrate

Drinking enough water is always important, but even more so if you are taking a weight loss drug. “Hydrate like it’s your job,” she continues. ”Water + electrolytes = less nausea, more energy, and fewer headaches. Especially important in those early weeks!”

Exercise

Next, exercise, but don’t make it too complicated. “Move your body (even if it’s boring). You don’t need a fancy workout plan. Walk. Strength train. Build habits, not hustle,” she says.

Repeat and Be Consistent

Consistency is also key. “Be boring. Simple meals. Repeatable routines. Protein coffee on repeat. Consistency is what works—not chasing the next new thing,” she says.

Change Your Mindset

Finally, make sure you shift your mindset. “Mindset is everything. This isn’t a short-term fix. It’s a new way of fuelling your body and protecting your future health. You’re not starting over—you’re starting different,” she writes. And if you enjoyed this article, don't miss20 Incredible Ozempic Success Stories of All Time.

Eat the Same Meals Daily

“Eat similar meals every day. It makes eating simple and takes away the guessing game of if you’re staying within your calories and macros,” she says.

Don’t Eat Food From a Bag

Don’t ever eat chips or cookies from a bag. “Don’t eat anything out of a bag. Portion something out, and put the bag away,” she says.

Drink Water Before and After Meals

Hydration is key, especially when eating. “Drink water before and after a meal. Your body can’t tell the difference between being hungry, and being thirsty,” she writes.

Eat Slowly

“Eat your meals slow. Your body won’t feel ‘full’ until you’ve eaten too much. Make a habit of eating until you are 80% full,” she says.

Close Your Kitchen

“Set a hard stop for when the kitchen is closed. At least 3 hours before you go to bed so your body can digest properly,” she suggests.

Don’t Eat in Front of the TV

“Stop eating in front of the TV. Don’t eat in the car. Don’t eat while you scroll your phone. Avoid distracted eating,” she says.

Avoid Stress Eating

Also, avoid stress eating. “Don’t eat when you’re stressed. Don’t eat when you’re bored. Avoid emotional eating,” she suggests.

Make Sure You Are Eating Enough During the Day

“If you have trouble with snacking at night, it’s because you didn’t get enough nutrients throughout the day,” she maintains.

Close Your Mouth for Business

She has a random hack to avoid night eating. “Floss/brush your teeth after dinner/dessert. Close your mouth for business,” she says.

Don’t Label Foods

“Don’t label something as a ‘bad food’,” she suggests. Instead, “eat it in moderation. By restricting, you only risk binging.”

Eat Protein and Veggies First

She also has a strategic hack while dining out. “Prioritize protein and veggies when you eat out, the rest is for fun,” she says.

Limit Alcohol

“Alcohol is empty calories and provides no nutritional value,” she says. “Decide if it’s important to you on this journey.”

Get Vitamin D

“Get Vitamin D,” she continues. “It regulates your mood, helps with your appetite, and improves your hormones.”

Eat Apples

“If you need a snack and are over protein options, pick an Apple. It’s 65% water and they contain pectin which helps you feel fuller a little longer,” she says.

Don’t Weigh Yourself

“Don’t get on the scale if it’s going to impact you emotionally - if you know it will set you back, skip it,” she continues.

Walk After Eating

“Walk after every meal. This increases your blood sugar, regulates energy, and helps you digest,” she says.

Go to Bed Early

“Go to sleep early. Your body needs time to rest and recover. No sleep = a broken metabolism,” she continues.

Consider Fasting

You can also consider fasting. “Fasting isn’t magic, but it could help you build discipline, which helps control calories,” she says.

Always Eat Enough Protein and Fiber

“Protein and fiber will keep you full. Prioritize these as much as you can,” she says.

Are you on Ozempic, barely eating anything, but something feels off? Aliza Olive, MD, is a weight loss expert who co-founded GLP1Enhanced to help people on their weight loss journeys. In a recent post, she reveals a common issue she sees in her patients. According to Dr. Olive, many “GLP-1 Gals” complain, “I can’t eat that,” which is a problem. “Girl, if you’re eating 600-1000 calories a day on your GLP-1, we need to talk,” she says, explaining why this is an issue and what to do about it.

Lots of Her Patients Under Eat on Ozempic

“Never hungry? Eating less than 1200 calories?” she continues. “No hunger, no cravings… but also no energy, no protein, hair loss, and no idea how you’re supposed to hit your goals. You’re seeing the scale drop, but you secretly wonder how fast is too fast? You feel ‘in control’ for the first time ever—and you don’t want to mess it up,” she continues.

Underating Will Have Consequences

“Let’s be clear: Over-suppression of Appetite is a side effect, not a strategy. And under-eating will catch up with you— through muscle loss, slowed metabolism, nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, hair loss, or a full-on plateau,” she says.

Here Is What to Do If You Are Struggling to Hit Your Protein Goals

“So if hitting your protein goal feels impossible, here’s what to try,” she says.

  • Add egg whites to your scramble, oats, or pancakes
  • Use 2 scoops of protein powder in your shake instead of 1
  • Swap to high-protein yogurt (I’m looking at you, 20g+!)
  • Eat low-volume, calorie-dense foods—this is not the time for salad mountains
  • Read food labels—make every bite count (nutrients, protein, fiber!)
  • Don’t skip meals—eat even when you’re not hungry
  • Check your mindset—are you under-eating because “less feels better”? Be honest. That’s not control, that’s sabotage. And it won’t work long term!
  • Consider a dose reduction if you truly can’t meet your basic needs.

Why It Matters

“Rapid weight loss might look good on the scale…But behind the scenes? You’re losing muscle, not just fat. You’re slowing your metabolism. You’re setting yourself up to regain, not maintain,” she says.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line? You have to eat to be strong. “You didn’t start this journey to eat like a bird and lose your strength. You started to feel in control of your body—and that means fueling it too,” she concludes. And if you enjoyed this article, don't miss20 Incredible Ozempic Success Stories of All Time.
