Default Re: Best food?

So i am feeding her the oxbow food. With 2 meal worms and a small piece of lettuce a day. Is that good for her or should I add even more.

Mealworms can be quite high in fat so two a day is plenty but it would be good to feed something like plain cooked chicken a couple of times a week, just a small piece, to up the protein.
Lettuce every day isn't a good idea, maybe once or twice a week would be plenty.
There are lots of veg to choose from & she needs variety & not too much of any one thing.
Here's a list of some you can try.
Safe veg, those marked * are relatively high in sugar so only feed to diabetes prone species as an occasional treat if at all.
Asparagus (mine have never liked this)
Basil
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Common or red clover
Cabbage, green or red
Carrot*
Cauliflower
Celery
Chard
Coriander
Courgette
Cress (not mustard & cress as commonly sold together)
Cucumber
Dandelion leaves & flowers
Endive/chicory
Green beans/runner beans
Kale
Pak choi/Bok choi
Parsley
Peas/mange tout/sugar snap/snow*
Peppers, any colour
Potato/sweet potato cooked only*
Radicchio
Spinach
Squash/pumpkin*
Swede
Sweet corn/baby corn*
Turnip

What type of chicken is best for her? And should it be grilled?

I'm an almost life long vegetarian so I have no idea how to cook chicken
No fat, no seasoning & no skin so I guess grilling would be good.
