FOR A BALANCED DIET:
❤ Eat less fat ❤ Eat more fi sh ❤ Have 5 fruit and vegetables each day ❤ Eat more food rich in fi bre ❤ Have no more than 6g of salt a day
To save some pennies
❤ Planning is the key, decide on your main meals for the week, think about what you want to buy. For example a slightly larger Sunday roast will give you a few more meals with the leftovers, which can be used for a tasty pasta, soup or risotto.
❤ Think about making and eating more vegetable dishes and adding some pulses, which are full of vitamins and minerals.
❤ When you decide what you want to cook each day, not forgetting your breakfast and lunch, look in your fridge, freezer and larder and make a list of all the ingredients you need to buy.
❤ Try and keep to your shopping list, which will stop you putting something extra in your basket!
❤ Try to make packed lunches rather than buying that expensive sandwich at work every day. Flasks of homemade soups and containers of salad don’t take long to get ready.
