I batch cook all the time...makes such a difference. I can’t face cooking in the evening so great knowing I have food already with only veg to add. The photo looks great. I hadn’t thought about using the packets for flavour....but it’s m going to give it a go to ring some changes 😊

Portion sizes cameras a real shock to me when I started weighing everything out. Adopting a healthy lifestyle is a marathon not a sprint.

If you can stick with weighing out for a while you get a feel for what portion sizes should be. The heart foundation website is excellent for portion sizes as it gives pictures........I always prefer a picture😊
