My budgie is going through a moult right now, and I was wondering if I should keep her diet the same or increase it? Right now, she gets 1.5 teaspoons of seed, around a teaspoon of spray millet, veggies for breakfast and dinner, and there's always Roudybush pellets available in her cage. Should I up the seed intake since she's probably losing energy from the moult, or keep it the same?

Add protein to her diet by boiling her egg and giving her the egg white. Make sure it's cold when giving it too her protein helps the new feathers grow because the feathers are mainly made from protein.
