A diet high in eggs, chicken, is recommended for better body response to dopsmine receptors. Eating several small meals is also better for the digestive tract. Fava Beans are the only known way to that contain dopamine.

dopamine isn't in foods, we manufacture it in our cells from other amino acids, primarily tyrosine. if it were that simple that taking tyrosine will automatically give us the dopamine we needed in our brains we wouldn't have pd.. pd is caused by the death/damage/inhibition to those few cells in our brains that produce dopamine from tyrosine.

there's like enough tyrosine in an egg or a serving of meat or cheese to supply one's dopamine needs for a week, IF the cells specialized for dopamine production were still working.

i suggest you search the board for tyrosine, this topic has often been discussed.
wish it was just that simple.
