Anti aging influencer and billionaire Bryan Johnson loves to update his fans and followers on his longevity strategies. Recently the 47 year old entrepreneur took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his meal plan for the next few days.
"What I'm eating for the next few days," Bryan starts the post and has listed down the foods he plans to eat along with the recipe. Chickpea and veggie wraps, cauliflower rice vegetable stir fry, and wild blueberry smoothie are his meals for the coming days.
The chickpea and veggie wrap will comprise, 1 cup chickpeas, ½ cucumber (thinly sliced), ½ bell pepper (sliced into strips), ¼ cup pickled red onions (adds a tangy kick), ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped), 1 cup fresh spinach (or any leafy greens), 2 tbsp hummus, 2 large collard green leaves (as a wrap) and 2 tbsp sundried tomatoes (chopped, for depth of flavor).
The cauliflower rice vegetable stir fry will be prepared with 2 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen), 1 cup broccoli florets (chopped small), ½ cup red cabbage (thinly sliced), ½ cup carrots (julienned or shredded), ¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped), ½ cup shiitake mushrooms (sliced), 2 tbsp hemp seeds, 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or tamari for a mild umami flavor), 2 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice, 1 tsp orange zest (for depth of flavor) and 1 tbsp blueprint extra virgin olive oil.
The wild blueberry smoothie will have 1 cup wild blueberries (frozen or fresh), ½ teaspoon butterfly pea flower powder, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ¼ avocado, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds, 2 tablespoons macadamia nuts and 1 teaspoon Manuka honey.
Netizens were quick to identify missing nutrients in his meal
"You were doing so good until the smoothie. When you juice and blend fruits and vegetables, the blender is doing the digestion for you. Bite into fruits and vegetables and drink water," writes one user.
"I would be careful with almond milk due to oxalates. a study from 2015 linked oxalates to increase risk of breast cancer," writes another.
"Emergency food and wealth, but there is no meat, you don't eat meat?," writes a third user.
"This looks super healthy but seems like very little food," writes a fourth user.
Is that intake for the whole day? Around 1300cals and 50g protein? Seems low, writes another user.
As mentioned by users, meat which is a good source of vitamin B12 is missing in the meal. This vitamin is primarily found in animal products. A deficiency can lead to anemia and neurological issues. It's crucial for individuals following a plant-based diet to incorporate B12-fortified foods or consider supplementation. The diet has scope of adding more protein which can be incorporated through a variety of plant-based sources such as legumes, tofu, tempeh, and quinoa.
