Hi ,

I am currently struggling to loose weight. I work at a boarding school where you have to join in with meals. I am usually there for lunch and dinner. Any tips on how to portion my plate when I don't know the calorie content and have no say in he preparation. Thank you ☺

Do you have any choice of menu? Are the kitchen staff approachable, so they could give you an idea? Is there a good range of fresh veg and salads?

Thank you ☺There is always vegetables or salad. I have no choice over the menu as it's the same for the whole school. It runs in 6 week cycles
