Choosing what you should eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner can be a minefield, so the Mail asked top gut health experts, nutritionists and food scientists what they consume in a day...

It means it can feel like a minefield when it comes to choosing what you should eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Professor Spector used to drink orange juice with his first meal of the day before discovering it was behind a massive spike in his blood sugar. Professor Spector, who co-founded personalised nutrition company ZOE, makes one-pan meals for dinner and often opts for fish, lots of vegetables and fresh herbs.

Professor Spector said he doesn’t often feel the need to snack between his meals but, if he does, he opts for a handful of nuts or high-quality dark chocolate.For drinks, he sticks to water, homemade kombucha or water kefir and black coffee. On occasion, he has a glass of red or orange wine.‘There’s a growing body of research around the health benefits of eating fermented foods regularly.

‘I always try to choose foods high in fibre as this is the king of nutrients for me as it is associated with so many health benefits,’ he said. ‘I also look for foods that offer you as much nutrition as possible per mouthful so oats and eggs really hit the spot here.‘I like to include a good source of protein with every meal to help keep me feeling full and to support my recovery needs from training.

Mr Hobson, a best-selling author whose latest book Unprocess Your Life was serialised by the Mail, cooks up one-pot meals, such as chilli, curry or stew, for dinner or has meat or fish with potatoes and some vegetables. ‘I always try to include some cheese during the day as I don’t really drink milk or eat that much yoghurt, so look for other sources of calcium which also include green veggies and pulses.’

Adding a scoop of yoghurt would further boost the nutrients in the meal as it would add dairy and protein, Professor Kuhnle noted. However, he skips this step because he is lactose intolerant. He then adds a carbohydrate, such as pasta or couscous, and serves it with roast pumpkin seed oil as a dressing.

'I'm big on listening to your body but also we thrive on routine so it is good to to have a routine and eat at similar times of the day because it regulates your circadian rhythm,' she said.
