Experimentation in obtaining a nutrient-rich recipe for a day with no supplements and no multi-vitamin.
Macro nutrients are each between 30-40% for a balanced diet.

Chicken with thyme and salt for a meal.
The rest can be made into a smoothie or a fruit yogurt topped with seeds.

Alternatives
Thyme can be substituted with basil (iron).
Instead of just chicken, have 100g of fish (salmon/tuna) and 100g chicken (lots of micronutrients and protein, reduce nacin).
Replace an egg with 0.5 tablespoon of soy lecithin (choline).
Without the daily sunlight, supplement with Vitamin D or find milk fortified with D.
Swap one kiwi with 0.5 cup of chopped broccoli or half a red pepper (vitamin A and C).

Note
Wheat germ contains gluten. Without it, there needs to be a substitute for thiamin, iron, folate and potassium.
