The tips for lunch and dinner are very similar. Hopefully a mix of tips from each section will be helpful for you and your family
- Basing your evening meals on starchy foods (such as rice, pasta and potatoes) and vegetables is a great way to make them healthier
- Wholegrain versions of starchy foods, like rice and pasta, are great choices as they are higher in fibre than white
- Lower fat and lower sugar options of dairy products (or dairy free alternatives) such as lower fat cheese or yogurt are a healthier choice than full fat
- Tomato or vegetable based sauces tend to be lower in fat than creamier ones, such as those made with ghee or coconut milk
- If adding sauce (e.g. mayonnaise or ketchup), using a small amount is best as these can be high in fat, sugar and salt
- Rather than frying, cooking techniques such as grilling, boiling and poaching can reduce the fat content of your food
