Love Eating Well
Busy lives shouldn't get in the way of eating well.
Look for the yellow heart to find meals bursting with flavour but not with any of the things we tend to worry about like high calories, fat, sugar and salt.
You'll find something tasty for everyone, whatever your dietary preference.
There are Great Taste Award winners like Beef Bourguignon, Moroccan Spiced Lamb Tagine, Meatballs in a Rustic Tomato Sauce and Spaghetti Bolognese. Plenty of veggie, vegan, gluten and dairy-free options too. And as many are available for two, four or even eight people, you can help everybody eat a bit healthier (as part of a balanced diet, of course).
"Delicious and nutritious." - Laura
Our Love Eating Well dishes focus on the following:
1. Calories these remain the most widely recognised measure of energy, so this will be helpful if you are being a bit more conscious about what you eat. To find out more about how many calories you should be eating go to www.NHS.uk.
2. Source of Protein / High in Protein: We include ‘source of protein’ (meaning that 12% of the energy value of the food is provided by protein) or ‘high in protein’ (meaning that 20% of the energy value of the food is provided by protein) for all Love Eating Well dishes where applicable according to the EU health and nutrition guidelines. Protein is vital to contributing to the growth, repair and maintenance of muscle mass and good health. You can find out more by visiting the British Nutrition Foundation.
3. Source of Fibre / High in Fibre: According to the National Diet and Nutrition survey (NDNS), fibre intake for both adults and children is still too low, so sharing this information should help you reach the suggested daily fibre intake for you and your family. Government guidelines recommend getting 30g dietary fibre a day. ‘Source of fibre’ in our meals means there is 3g of dietary fibre per 100g of food and ‘High in fibre’ means there is 6g of fibre per 100g of food.
4. 1 of your 5-a-day: According to the NDNS survey, fruit and vegetable intake has hardly changed over the nine years the survey has existed, and it still falls below the recommended 5-a-day. You’ll find the number of portions of veg in each of our Love Eating Well meals online to help you on your way. You’ll also find suggestions for vegetables to serve with your COOK meal, where appropriate.
5. Low Sat Fat: This is listed to help those of you specifically looking to reduce your intake of saturated fat.
6. Low Fat: Again, if you are specifically looking to lower your fat intake, this info is available. Low fat foods contain no more than 3g of fat per 100g.
7. Low Sugar: Where a meal is listed as ‘low sugar’, that means it is in line with EU regulations (less than 5g of sugar per 100g). Sugar, of course, will always be used in our Puddings Kitchen, but we would never recommend tucking into a pavlova every day! Whenever we develop new savoury recipes, however, we always try to avoid adding refined sugar unless it’s entirely necessary.
8. Low Salt: We don’t use artificial additives to enhance flavour in our kitchens, but that doesn’t mean we’re ignoring the amount of salt in our meals. When we develop new recipes, we also keep an eye on how much we use, working to the Public Health England targets.
