"
- Get yourself along to the fruit and vege store or market where the produce is abundant and inexpensive, and start your weekly food shop there. Spend most of your food budget on veges.
- Try and reframe the way you think of your meals to be vegetable-focussed. I’m not suggesting giving up meat – it’s nutritious and delicious – but reduce your meat portions to the size and thickness of the palm of your hand (the palm, not the whole hand).
- Add a couple of fish meals to your week (ideally not fish and chips!). Don’t forget about frozen and canned fish, which are economical options.
- Consider some plant-based protein like tofu. If you’ve never cooked with it, don’t be scared. Tofu has a unique texture and really absorbs the flavours you put with it – it doesn’t have to be bland and dull.
- Add healthy whole grains. Try and experiment with some new ones likequinoa and spelt. Choose wholegrain varieties of pasta, couscous and rice to boost your fibre and vitamin intake.
- Rethink your snacks – try and get some protein into each one. Choose things like dairy and nuts and fruit, rather than biscuits and overly sweet snack bars."
This all seems relatively simple. The only one I'm going to have trouble with is the seafood. I hate fish unless its battered. Next task is to find fish recipes for people who hate fish
