1. Plant-Based Diet

Metcalfe follows a plant-based diet, including plenty of fruits such as strawberries, and lots of fresh vegetables. “Plants give your body what it needs to help fight off infection,” says Andrea Murray, MD Anderson health education specialist. “A plant-based diet strengthens your immune system to protect you against germs and microorganisms.”

2. Almond Milk

Metcalfe enjoys almond milk, which can be a good healthy choice depending on how it’s made. Experts suggest reading the label to avoid added sugars. “Controlled trials have shown that general nut intake can decrease inflammation, promote healthy blood vessels, and reduce insulin resistance,” according to the Harvard T.H. Chan of Public Health.

3. Building Muscle

Metcalfe works hard to build muscle and develop a strong, toned physique. “OK, so I’ve been working out a little bit and I’m starting to see the muscles coming through,” she said in the run up to the fitness competition. “A little shape situation… It works when you work it.”

4. Fresh Eggs

Although Metcalfe is plant-based, she has eggs on hand. “We are probably more embracing of eggs within a heart-healthy dietary pattern than we were 20 years ago, but it’s still a source of dietary cholesterol,” says Jo Ann Carson, professor of clinical nutrition at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. “Eating an egg a day as a part of a healthy diet for healthy individuals is a reasonable thing to do.”

5. Protein-Packed Yogurt

Metcalfe keeps yogurt in her fridge, which can be a great source of gut-friendly bacteria. “Look for yogurt that has 5 grams or more of protein per serving,” says Harvard Health. “Greek-style yogurt generally has more protein than other types of yogurt, sometimes as much as 16 grams.”
