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 ♬ original sound – Emily English
