Roast chicken with potatoes and mixed vegetables

This plate is roughly half vegetables plus lean-ish poultry and unprocessed starches, with no added salt-heavy sauces indicated — very close to the DASH template. The chicken leg skin adds some saturated fat, keeping it from a perfect score.

Lots of vegetables, whole-food starches, and poultry as the protein fit the Mediterranean pattern well. It loses a little ground because the fat source is roast chicken rather than olive oil, and there's no fish, legumes, or whole grains.

Roast chicken, mushrooms, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and sweet potato are all paleo staples, and there are no grains, dairy or legumes-except-peas. Green peas are technically a legume, which is the only real deduction.

Every item here — roast chicken, potatoes, sweet potato, mushrooms, broccoli, peas, brussels sprouts — is Whole30-compliant as described, with no grains, dairy, legumes-except-peas-are-borderline, or added sugar. Whole30 explicitly allows white potatoes and peas, so this fits cleanly.

Protein from the chicken leg is solid, and the carbs come from mostly low-glycemic vegetables plus some denser starch. The 40/30/30 balance is decent but the combined potato and sweet potato push carbs a bit high relative to protein.

Broccoli, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, sweet potato, and peas provide a strong load of polyphenols, fiber and carotenoids, with poultry as a moderate protein. The chicken skin's saturated fat and lack of omega-3 sources keep it from a top score.

Portion is reasonable, protein is adequate at ~30% of the plate, and fiber is high from the vegetable mix, all of which support GLP-1 goals. The starch load from potatoes plus sweet potato is a bit heavy for optimal satiety-per-calorie.
