NUTRITIONAL EVALUATION:

Whole chicken is 20% protein and offers a complete amino acid profile. In other words, it provides your body with all the essential proteins which your body needs which will play a key role in increasing your strength and aiding recovery. Chicken is also relatively low in saturated fats compared with red meats so is a healthy option that can be eaten several times a week.

Butter is a source of butyrate (a short chain fatty acids, essential for metabolism regulation, and neuro transmitters productions) but also high in saturated fats. Have a good quality butter, maximum 2x week

Whole wheat bread is a source of complex carbohydrates, and has a larger amount of fibre than white bread. Fibre is essential to feed the “good” bacteria in our gut. If sensitive to yeast, an alternative could be a flatbread or a pitta, which are not yeasted like normal bread would do, and for this reason might be more indicated for people suffering from sensitivity to yeasted products.

Watercress is part of the cruciferous vegetables family, the same as broccoli, cauliflower and kale. Cruciferous vegetables are rich in many vitamins (folate, C, E and K) as well as sulphurous compounds, known as glucosinolates. Studies suggest those compounds can be supportive of the cardiovascular system, hormonal health and cancer preventative.
