Build a balanced meal prep plate in 4 steps 🥑
1. Protein first. Chicken, steak, fish, eggs, beans or lentils. Aim for at least 2 portions of fish a week, including 1 oily.
2. Add colour. Fill a big part with veg or salad. An adult portion is 80g, and frozen and tinned veg count too.
3. Smart carbs. Rice, potatoes or pasta fill just over a third. Go wholegrain where you can and leave potato skins on for more fibre.
4. Add flavour. Sauce, herbs and spice finish it off. Herbs, spices, garlic, chilli or lemon juice work instead of extra salt.
Not every plate has to be perfect. Aim for balance across a day or a week.
