OK, so apparently balancing my diet is going to be harder than I thought. I could understand my diet being 35% fat when we were travelling and I was eating a lot of junk food, but on the face of it yesterday’s diet was pretty healthy. Lots of fruit and veg, no obvious junk food like crisps or candy bars, and no take aways. Looking it over, the high fat percentage is coming from the nuts I had for a morning snack (17g), the two slices of gluten free bread (10g), the Eat Natural bar (14g), and the almonds and chickpeas in the veggie tagine (12.85g total). Who knew Eat Natural bars had 14g of fat!? Despite the fat in nuts being the healthy unsaturated sort, I am simply getting too much of it. Proof that lactose and gluten free, and mostly vegetarian, is not necessarily healthier!
It is normal for my husband and I to cook a large batch of something on a Sunday or Monday, such as the Moorish Vegetable Tagine this week, then have it for lunches 2 or 3 times. However, given that this tagine has more fat than protein per serving, I think having it every day has not helped. The problem is that many of our favourite recipes for ‘Big Re-usable Food’ (such as chilli and cottage pie), are beef based, which can be high in saturated fat. Any recipe suggestions?
