What The Inspired Unemployed’s Matt Ford eats in a day

One half of The Inspired Unemployed Matt Ford, 28, shares his day on a plate.

8.30am After a surf with mates, I have two pieces of gluten-free toast with avocado, two poached eggs and an oat milk flat white.

10.30am A banana between meetings and filming a skit.

1pm Lunch at a local cafe: halloumi burger with spinach, avocado and aioli on a gluten-free bun (I’m gluten-intolerant).

4pm I snack on a few handfuls of salt and vinegar chips.

5.30pm Crack open a low-sugar ginger beer at home and watch the sun go down. For dinner, I have a scotch fillet steak cooked on the barbie, with mashed potato, peas and carrot, and another ginger beer.

8pm Two rows of chocolate while watching television.

Dr Joanna McMillan says:

Top marks for … Having avocado in place of butter on your toast. It delivers far more nutrients, including vitamin E and folate, healthier fats and fibre. Teamed with nutrient-rich eggs, this makes for a terrific start to the day.

If you keep eating like this you’ll … Risk falling short on fibre, as gluten-free options tend to be made from refined potato or rice flour. Several gluten-free whole grains and pseudo grains offer whole-food nutrition.

Why don’t you try … A high-fibre gluten-free bread for home, and gluten-free whole grains such as teff, quinoa, amaranth, corn and brown or black rice. As you’re not coeliac, you can also include oats.

Matt Ford is a co-owner of Better Beer; its low-sugar alcoholic ginger beer is out now.
