Main TopicHow to pack veg into your meals without really noticing

Traditional way

• A nutritionist will tell you to have 50% of your plate fruit / veg, 25% whole grains and 25% protein
• Have smaller amount of nuts / fish / meat and greater amount of veg
• Does not really work
• Episode find ways round that

Pimp up your salad

• Make it into a main meal by adding protein
• Add balsamic vinegar / parmesan / olive oil

Find veg you like

• I like mushrooms. You can add these to anything to bulk it out and add more veg.
• Recently I have re-discovered sweetcorn and peppers. Really add a lot of of taste and bulk out a meal.
• Cauliflower rice. Not good for taste but does bulk out a meal like for example bolognese.

Sneek it into meals

• I make a dish with onions, bacon medallions or walnut, passata and marscapone. This is served with a bit of pasta.
• Really nice but add in 3 peppers and sweetcorn.
• Big meal and really nice and decadent
• Hardly any extra calories but massive amount of difference to veg intake

Chop it up and freeze it to save time

• Don’t have time to chop right now when come in from work
• Why not freeze the veg.
• Cut it when works for you or buy ready prepared

Take some snacks and add additional items

• Great thing about eating on non-fasting day the amount of calories you get
• What about taking some dishes and pimping them up
• Like raw carrot but a bit boring sometimes. Add humous

Summary
