Food advice for a busy life
| 13 May 2013 ,08:10 3 recipes for the timid fish eater | |
In my latest Reader's Digest column I've written a piece called Tips
for the Timid Fish Eater. There are many, many reasons to
include more fish in your weekly meals, however I find a lot of people are uncertain about
how to cook fish or find the flavour and smell too strong. If this is you, then my column
gives advice on where to start when you want to eat more fish. If you're new to cooking fish, then here are three great recipes to get you started. 1. Use fish to make burgersThese Salmon Burgers from
Teresa Cutter use fresh fish which is whizzed up with parsley and lemon. The mixture is
then shaped into burgers, coated with almond meal and cooked in a frying pan. Serve with
steamed vegetables, some brown rice and the lemon dressing that Teresa recommends. Or make
them into proper burgers, by stuffing into wholegrain bread rolls, with lots of salad and
a drizzle of plain yoghurt. 2. Make a simple fish stewJules from The Stonesoup has an easy five ingredient stew which is perfect for the fish
newcomer. White fish fillets are paired with fennel and onion and cooked in a tomato
sauce. It's all done on the stovetop and takes about 20 minutes of actual cooking
time.

| 22 April 2013 ,10:17 Does it matter if you eat the same breakfast every day? | |
If you're rushing to get ready in the morning, it can be tempting to stick with
the same, no-fuss breakfast every day. However you may be doing your health a disservice.
Eating a variety of foods is a fundamental part of having a good, healthy diet. To put it
simply, a variety of foods means you are consuming a variety of nutrients and this is the
best way to ensure you are getting everything you need. If you are already consuming a range of different foods throughout the rest of the day, then having the same breakfast each morning is not a major problem. However if you're eating tends to be more limited, then your health will suffer. There are some easy ways you can mix up your breakfast, without adding to the morning rush. Sprinkle fresh or frozen fruit, and different nuts and seeds over your breakfast cereal. Instead of having vegemite on toast each day, mix up your toppings. Try peanut butter, or hummous and tomato. Choose a different type of bread, or have ryvitas with cottage cheese and cucumber for a change. Mix up your foods and make your breakfast just a little bit different each day. It'll stop you from getting bored and ensure you're getting the best nutrition possible. ![]() |

| 18 April 2013 ,13:33 Which is better for you - red meat or chicken? | |
While chicken is known as the low fat meat, I'm not sure that title is still
relevant. Red meat can be higher in
saturated fat, however lean cuts of lamb and
beef are now widely available and many of these rival the low fat levels found in
chicken. Moreover while chicken is low-ish in fat and contains a good amount of
protein, it doesn't have a lot else going for it. In contrast red meat, as well as being
full of protein is also high in the important minerals iron and zinc. Rather than relying on chicken, it's better to eat a combination of protein sources. Include some lean red meat and fish, but also keep in mind the non-meat proteins. Vary your foods by also including eggs, nuts, leg umes, dairy and soy foods. |

| 08 April 2013 ,09:33 3 tips for healthier eating when travelling | |
It's often hard to eat well when you're on the road, particularly if you're
travelling for business and have little time or opportunity to seek out good food. Here
are some ideas for healthier eating when travelling. ![]() 1. Self cater where possibleNo matter
where you're staying it's often possible to do some kind of self-catering and the more you
organise your own food, the more healthy it's likely to be.
2. Pack healthy snacksWhile it might be possible to pick
healthy options at meals, sometimes it's the in-between snack options which ruin the
balance, so try to take some good snacks with you.
3. Start your day with a balanced breakfastStarting the morning with a good breakfast will set you up for the rest of the day.
Just because you're travelling doesn't mean you have to pig out on a big fry-up every day,
or skip breakfast.
