Did you not read my post? I said that I know you don't know much about them but I am passionate about them and talk about them. How does that make them vague? Honestly I was just looking to see if I needed more medically related activities

You've covered most of the bases (minus sufficient shadowing), but nothing really sticks out. You mentioned taking a gap year, why not do something interesting then?

I doubt that being a bodybuilder and a gym employee are relevant ECs. You may also want to shadow a variety of physicians but other than that, it's plenty of ECs.
 
In terms of checking off all the boxes, you've got most everything covered. Shadowing seems to be biggest area of weakness. See notes below:

Club on global health - do you have some kind of leadership here?
Hospital volunteering - is this experience helping you to expand working with different cultures?
Food consultant for cafeteria on campus - ??
Resident Assistant ??
Er Scribe - employment, check clinical experience, check
Gym employee ??
Research in psych - any pubs, or posters?
Shadowing - not enough. Find other fields too!
Bodybuilding - teamwork?
Tutoring kids - serving community, check
