1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: The pre made meal section is one of the fastest

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: growing areas of the supermarket, with busy lifestyles relying more

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: and more on time and cost effective options for both

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: singles and families. Today we take a closer look at

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: the lasagnas that are commonly available in the fresh and

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: freezer section of supermarkets, and you may be surprised in

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: the differences between different brands that we find. Hi I'm

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: Susi Burrel and Emily and Wood and as two of

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: us jay Is leading dieticians, we bring you the Nutrition

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Couch Product Review, a weekly chat on new products and

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: old favorites you can find at supermarkets. Nelly and why

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: little boys who are six love to eat lasagna? And

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: in the good old days, I would sort of do

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: a big cookout with my mum and we would layer

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: a whole lot of vegetables and extra le mints and

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: perhaps freeze it. But I can't even tell you the

17
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: last time I've had time or energy to do that.

18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: But it can be a really nutritious, great meal to

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: tack away if you do have time. But I guess

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: in current times also not inexpensive when you take into

21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: account the cost of veggies and good quality meat to

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: make a lasagna. So I haven't done it for ages

23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: and ages. What about you, guys? Are you regularly making

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: your own? Are you more likely to pick up something

25
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: at the supermarket?

26
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: No, I never buy lasagna. I just don't find that

27
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: that sort of satisfying. I'm not big into mints, and

28
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: if I do, I have to buy the super lean

29
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: type because I just I don't know. If I bought

30
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: a lasagna in the supermarket. To me, I just wouldn't

31
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: feel great after eating that. I just feel like it's

32
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: a bit too sort of heavy and rich. So I

33
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: am a fan of a zanni. We don't need a

34
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: lot of pasture in my household with big potato rice,

35
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: you know Mexican type people with me like you know,

36
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: our tacos and that sort of thing. We don't need

37
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: a whole lot of pasta. But if we do, we do.

38
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: I do love to build my in lasagna. And you know,

39
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: I put the lean mince shield, I put lots of legumes,

40
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: and like some lentils, I love substituting the sort of

41
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: what is it that bechamel cream layer for something like

42
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: rocotta cheese or cottage cheese. And then of course I'm

43
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: like you, I layer and a ton of vegguice real

44
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: as well, and I always do a double bachelor of Zangnie,

45
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: Like it takes so long to make that. If I'm

46
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: gonna be here, I'm gonna make it. I'm going to

47
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 2: make two or three serves, So I'll make two massive

48
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: lasagna dishes. You know, might get out sixteen serves it

49
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: or something and box it up and it all goes

50
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: into the freezer. And that's something we might have occasionally

51
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: on like a Friday night when we're just like, oh,

52
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: can't be bothered cooking, but also we're like kind of

53
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: want to keep our tails on track, won't get takeaway,

54
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: I want to save some money. We'll pull out some

55
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: frozen lasagna, hit it up like it with a side salad,

56
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: and it's just a really easy quick dinner. We've always

57
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: got some sort of lasagna or curry in the freezer

58
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: that I've sort of meal prepped in advance.

59
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: You're right, it is really time consuming. And I remember

60
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: living with Italians that they would literally cook it for

61
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: a day by the time that they did the sauce

62
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: and got the flavor. So it can be amazing, and

63
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: like you, I tend to prefer the quality of when

64
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: you make yourself, because the meat contents tend to be

65
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: much higher and much leaner. But I know that there's

66
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people who do need quick and easy options,

67
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: and there's quite a number of different Lasaignians with quite

68
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: a range of nutritional profile, so we thought it was

69
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: a really good one to share today for busy families.

70
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: So the first one we're going to take a look

71
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: at is one from AUDI. Now, I'm a big fan

72
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: of the frozen food section at AUDI in general. I

73
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: find they're really cost effective options and in general some

74
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: very nutritionally sound options. Dumplings come to mind as one

75
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: of my favorite products, and a lot of the veggies.

76
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: But we've chosen the design here today obviously, and this

77
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: is a four hundred gram individual section of a frozen

78
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: variety which retails for just two dollars twenty five. So

79
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: that is an extremely cost effective option. You know, you

80
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: add some veggies to that and it's a filling, tasty meal,

81
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: But how does it look nutritionally? So for the four

82
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: hundred grams serving, it clocks in it just over five

83
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: hundred calories or twenty two hundred and eighty kilodel, so

84
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: quite a substantial load. As a reference, at least a

85
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: dinner meal would be at least four five hundred calories

86
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: for a female. It's probably a little bit small for

87
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: a male. Twenty five point two grams of protein, which

88
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I have to say is a nice amount. Twenty four

89
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: point eight grams of fat. Now it isn't a low

90
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: fat food here. It's got six point two grams of

91
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: overall fat. It would need to be less than three

92
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: grams to be a low fat product. So saturated fat's

93
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: pretty good though. You know, it's almost less than three

94
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: percent saturated fat, which is suggesting the meat is reasonable quality.

95
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: Fifty two point eight grams of carbohydrate per serving, six

96
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: point four grams of sugars, which is actually pretty low

97
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: for that gram so per percentage, that's almost less than

98
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: one percent sugars, which is a good sign. Massive whack

99
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: of salt in their twelve hundred milligrams, which is more

100
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: than half hour recommended daily intake of sodium, so they're

101
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: certainly not going light on the salt. If we look

102
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: at the ingredients, and they're pretty long in a product

103
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: like lasagna, so it's twenty four percent cooked pasta the

104
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: sauce is coming in at twenty three percent SPECIML, which

105
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: is the creamy sauce with a mixture of milk, some

106
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: cream as well, a little bit of butter, some vegetable oil,

107
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: so giving it I would say a reasonable taste in texture. Now,

108
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: the number I'm always looking for on a lasagnie Leian

109
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: is the percentage of meat in it, because ultimately that's

110
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: what we're spending money on. And it is fourteen percent beef,

111
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: which when we compare it to some of the other

112
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: brands you'll see is actually pretty good. And as I said,

113
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: I would infer the quality to be quite good since

114
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the fat of it is pretty good. Profile seven percent tomatoes,

115
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 1: some ferming agent, tomato paste, some red wine, some cheddar,

116
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: and then we go down the least onion, carrots, very thickeners,

117
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: et cetera to fill it out. So it's quite a

118
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: long list, but you would expect that from a mixed

119
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: dish like a lasagna. Now, I have to be honestly,

120
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: and I reckon it's pretty good for the price two

121
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: bucks for fourteen percent beef. I would buy this product.

122
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: You know, I would recommend this product. I think it's sound.

123
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: I think for the price, you can't go wrong with that,

124
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: you know. The sodium probably is the only thing that

125
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: stands out to me is a bit of concern, Like

126
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: that is really a lot, mind you, that kind of

127
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Italian food. It is going to be difficult to get

128
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: it much lower than say eight hundred. But yeah, I

129
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: certainly would be recommending it for my busy young guys,

130
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: my women perhaps who needed a filling, carbohydrate rich meal,

131
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: particularly if they teamed it with loads of salad or

132
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: edge and pleasantly surprised with this Audi lasagna. What do

133
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: you think?

134
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fifty to fifty like, I wouldn't call us.

135
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm big on volume based eating, so you'd have to

136
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: add a lot of veggies and salad onto the side

137
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 2: of that. I think if you just would have warmed

138
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: that up, I feel like it's a fair like a

139
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: carbo hydrate. You know, fifty three grams of carbs that

140
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: serves great protein twenty five grams and you know, five

141
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: forty calories. It's pretty light for most people. I mean,

142
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: if you're small and you're not that active, it's probably

143
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: a little bit too much. But for most of our

144
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: you know, active, relatively average weight people and above. I

145
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: think it's It's pretty good calorie wise, isn't it. But

146
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: I'm just I don't know. It absolutely needs some more

147
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: veggies and salad on the side, and the sodium, as

148
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: you said, is kind of concerning if you're eating a

149
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: lot of package based, pre made products, right, But if

150
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: the rest of your diet it's pretty whole food and

151
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: this is an occasional thing that you're going to keep

152
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: in the freezer for just an occasional busy night where

153
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: you don't want to cook. I think that's fine. But

154
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: if you're having this multiple times a week, or you're

155
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: relying on frozen meals heavily, I would probably rethink this

156
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: from a sodium perspective, and even just a volume based perspective.

157
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be that billing. I

158
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: would think that if I heated this up, it wouldn't

159
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: be enough for me. I'd need some more, whether it

160
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: was extra you know, veggies or salad on the side.

161
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: Or something like that.

162
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: But otherwise it's not it's not too bad overall. There's

163
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: nothing in there, you know, as she said, ingredient list

164
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: is pretty long and pretty hardy, but there's nothing in there.

165
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: That's overly you know, would be overly cautious of put

166
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: it that way, Like it's just the standard products that

167
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: you'd make lasagni from pasta, cream, water, butter, milk, a

168
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: little bit of red wine, tomato paste, some veggies and mince. Yeah,

169
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: so I'm like you, I would sort of give it

170
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know, six or seven out of ten.

171
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: I'd hasten to think i'd give any sort of pre

172
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: made lazangnia or ten. So six or seven is pretty

173
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: good from my side of things.

174
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: Oh, no, I would agree. I would give it probably seven,

175
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: maybe seven and a half. Because it is a process food,

176
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's certainly not as good as a homemade

177
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: I think the reason I think it's quite good for

178
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: the price. Yeah, the price is great, but it's a

179
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: four hundred gram serve, Like that's quite a good whack

180
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: of lasagna. Like if I was eating that on my plate,

181
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I'd eat four hundred grams. So I

182
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: think you're right, of course you need two three cups

183
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: of salad or bitch with it. But for fifty grams

184
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: a carb that I think for two bucks, like twenty

185
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: five grams of protein, that's a pretty wide spend. Yeah,

186
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: in general, particularly when we have a look at a

187
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: second some of the others which are a bit underwhelming.

188
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: The cost is definitely a winner. And you're for twenty

189
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: five grams of protein.

190
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, pause that thought for a second. We'll go on

191
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: to the wo West beef lasagna. Now, they're about three

192
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: or four different types of Woolies branded lasagna in supermarket.

193
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: And the reason I know that is that I recently

194
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: bought one for the family, so I spent quite a

195
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: lot of time going through them. So there's the frozen one,

196
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: and then there's kind of the gourmet one, and then

197
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: there's the quick and easy one. So this the best

198
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: way to describe this one is the family sized pack,

199
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: which you know, I think it is packaged a just

200
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: kind of a premium product, and so when I have

201
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: a look at it, I have to be honest, I'm

202
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: a bit disappointed. So the first ingredients water twenty two

203
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: percent pasta, and the reason I'm so disappointed is that

204
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: the beef is only sitting at nine percent, which is

205
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: incredibly low for a product that you would say is

206
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: heavily meat based. Tomato pays seven, so that's compared to

207
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: the Audi which was what was that fourteen percent? And

208
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: we'll look at the price points in a second. So

209
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: tomato pays seven percent, tapioka flower, carrot butter, and ya

210
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: celery milk dried whole milk. So the labels better. It

211
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: gives us a lot greater insight into what's going into

212
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: it than we can infer from Aldi's. Is it clean,

213
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know it's I don't think it's that much cleaner.

214
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: It just looks at the way they've written it. But

215
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: wheat flour, texted vegetable protein, so that's got some sort

216
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: of bulking agent there. Canola oil, onion, seasoning, beef powder, garlic, salt, sugar, propica,

217
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: natural preservative. So even though it looks like a cleaner list,

218
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: when you actually take a closer look, the actual strong

219
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: ingredients are much lower overall, and that is inferred by

220
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: the nutrition. So the serving size recommended here is one

221
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: undred and fifty grams, so that gives you just over

222
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: four hundred calories, So you have to kind of do

223
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: the maths a little bit in your head with that,

224
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: but basically it's giving you quite a lot of calories

225
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: for a lot less nutrition. So we're getting on twelve

226
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: grams of protein perserve. Now, admittedly the ALDI say four

227
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: hundred and you're getting twenty five, and this is two fifty.

228
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: You're only getting twelve, So still less protein overall, similar fat,

229
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: I should say, three percent of that traded fat as well,

230
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: thirty grams of carbs, three grams of sugars a little

231
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: tiny bit more, three grams of fiber, sodium five sixty three,

232
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: So it is lower in sodium than the AUDI product.

233
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: But I'm just underwhelmed ley and in general that it's

234
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: sort of a significant like a third less meat in

235
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: that product that you're getting.

236
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what they've done. Tell me, I've

237
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: swift that what they've done. So that textual vegetable protein

238
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 2: that you know, how you ever seen that in the

239
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: vegetarian section, Like you add water too and it fluffs up.

240
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: It sort of looks like minced meat, like it's a

241
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: vegetarian protein alternative. So the protein content is actually quite high.

242
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: When you look at the ALDI product, right, that is

243
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: per serving four hundred grams. This is perserving two fifty grams.

244
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: If you match that four hundred grams and four hundred grams,

245
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: the protein's actually nineteen point two, so it's a lot higher,

246
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: like it's only you know, five grams less than the

247
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: other ones. Although it's very low beef. They've actually added

248
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: in textured vegetable protein to boost the overall protein. That's

249
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: what they've done. And the fiber is a little bit

250
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: better as well, because the texted vegetable protein has some

251
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: good fiber in it. So they're giving you a relatively

252
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: like nineteen grams per serves. You know, it's pretty good

253
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: for a frozen meal. They're giving you a relatively higher

254
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: protein based product. But they're saving themselves money because they're

255
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 2: adding less beef and they're using some vegetable protein to.

256
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: Top it up.

257
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: So from a wolf's perspective, I think they've done quite well.

258
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: But if you're paying more for it compared to the

259
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: ALDI one, you're not paying for the beef, So you know,

260
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: Wolworst is done all right. They're saving themselves some money,

261
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: and nutritionally it's not too bad, Like you're right. The

262
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: ingredient list is probably oh, it's a little bit cleaner

263
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: than the Aldi one, but nutritionally I don't think it

264
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: stacks up quite as well, and price wise, I think

265
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: it's a little bit more expensive, isn't it.

266
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm just doing the numbers now in it.

267
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: So it's about so the Woolies for two kilows, so

268
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: it's a big tray retails at thirteen dollars fifty and

269
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: so the equivalent amount, so five hundred grams times four

270
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: is giving you about nine dollars. So it's actually cheaper

271
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: to buy four audis for better nutritional profile and no

272
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: fillers that it is to pay thirteen dollars. You're going

273
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: to say five four dollars by doing that, and you're

274
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: getting better nutritional quality and more meat, significantly more meat

275
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: than the Williese brand, which to me is a bit horrifying.

276
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I'm not happy with that at all.

277
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was going to say the perks of the

278
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: worst one would be if you're actively trying to cut

279
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: down the amount of animal product you have, or like

280
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: the saturated fat profile is lower as well, that would

281
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 2: be a benefit. But I like the Aldi one because

282
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: it is single serve and portion controlled as well. Right, Like,

283
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: it's better if somebody if you had a big trailers

284
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: on you in front of you and you cut it

285
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: up into I don't know what eight ten twelve slices,

286
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: and you kept going back for more and more, just

287
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: putting your spoon through, and you know, just you know

288
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: how you do. It's on the counter. You just have

289
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: another spoon and another spoon and another spoon. Then you've

290
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: not only eaten a serve, you've eaten like a serve

291
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: and a half because you keep going back for more.

292
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: I do like that the Audi one is preportioned as well.

293
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: I do, and I like it comparatively. And to be honest,

294
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: if I was buying or when I bought a lasagna,

295
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: the only thing I went for was the percentage of meat.

296
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: I basically paid for the product that had the highest

297
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: proportion of meat overall, and I think I ended up

298
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: getting like an individual sort of gourmet one in the

299
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: front of the supermarket rather than any of these family

300
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: packs because I was underwhelmed. So it's really I'm finding

301
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: this really fascinatingly, all right. So the third one we're

302
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: going to take a look at is the Cole's Kitchen

303
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: Beef Lasagna. Now, Leanne and I've had to get our

304
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: mats out because the way the label is listed is

305
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: a little bit on the confusing side. So we think

306
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: we've got the numbers right for you now. So this

307
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: is an individual portion pack of four hundred grams, so

308
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: it's slightly less than smaller in size than the AUDI one,

309
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: and it reach outs for seven dollars eighty. So certainly

310
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: the AUDI was four hundred. It was the auty four

311
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: hundred size. Yes, yeah, it's the same size or not

312
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: five hundred. Okay, So the cost of the AUDI is

313
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: or like eleven dollars but still cheaper. Sorry, but this

314
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: is certainly positioned as more of a gourmet you know,

315
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: this is in that section of the supermarket at the

316
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: front where the individual meals are sold at premium prices.

317
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: So this is seven dollars eighty, which is, you know what,

318
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: three times what you're paying for the AUDI. Amount of

319
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: a lasagna certainly looks very beautiful on the label per serve,

320
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: certainly not low calorie. So it's two thousand, two hundred killogels,

321
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: which is again over five hundred calories per serve, so

322
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: not insignificant. Thirty five grams of protein, so that would

323
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: be suggesting that there's a good amount of meat in that.

324
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: Twenty six point eight grams are fat and very similar

325
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: overall fat profile to both the Audi and woollies from

326
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: what we can infer of the meat in terms of

327
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: relatively low saturated fat for bees, thirty three point two

328
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: grams of carbohydrate land so that's actually would suggest a

329
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: lot less carbohydrate or pasta in that product compared to

330
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: the Audi which is coming in at fifty So you

331
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: would assume perhaps less past and more meat in this product,

332
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: getting six point four grams of fiber, which is interesting,

333
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: that's actually really high for lasagna, and the sodium is

334
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: incredibly low at four hundred and eighty and that is

335
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: incredibly low. So certainly if one of your goals is

336
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: to reduce sodium intake, this would be the product for you. Now,

337
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: this is where we're getting a little bit confused, so

338
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: we're going to do our best to get these numbers

339
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: right for you. So it's listed as the bee fra

340
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: goose sauce is fifty four percent of the overall product,

341
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: the bescher more sauce, so the creamy sauce is twenty

342
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: four percent and the lasagna just twenty nineteen percent, which

343
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: is why that carbohydrate load of this Lasagni is much

344
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: lower than the AUDI product. And then we've got cheddar

345
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: cheese beefra goose sauce which contains thirty two percent Australian beef.

346
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: Now we are then taking that to be thirty two

347
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: percent of fifty four percent, which we worked out coming

348
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: in at ten percent meat, which is still lower than

349
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: the AUDI product, A tiny tad bit higher than will

350
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: It's not much still for me, lean a little bit

351
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: on the law low side, Tomato City Regulator, mineral salt, water,

352
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Tomato past regulators, sery, onion, carrot, red wine, canola oil, cornstars, crush, garlic.

353
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: Very similar ingredients that we're seeing across the board in

354
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: terms of a baseline lasagna, beef, flavor, salt, time, oregano,

355
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: vesteraal source, et cetera, et cetera. Now I am struggling

356
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe I'm not seeing something. To see

357
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: how this product has got thirty five grams of protein

358
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: per four hundred grams, which is a huge amount more

359
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: than the Woollies brand, which came in at just twelve MND.

360
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: You the serving size is small, but still even double

361
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: the serving size, it's still significantly less. And the AUDI product,

362
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: which comes at at twenty five grams with that meat

363
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: load at ten percent, maybe we're not calculating it right,

364
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you think?

365
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: I think thirty two percent of the beef Frogo saurce,

366
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: which is fifty four percent. Like if you go fifty

367
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: four percent timeser point three too, it's seventeen percent. I

368
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: think the bee for seventeen percent, not ten pers seventeen,

369
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: and that would make much better sense for me. I

370
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: think it's better quality bea. Look, it's no Australian, it's

371
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: no hormone added Austraian beef versus the Ali one is

372
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: just beef, so I think, but I think it's just

373
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 2: a bit better quality beef as well.

374
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: And you would hope solely, and you're paying a lot

375
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: more for us. You're eight dollars like you would want

376
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: it to be. And certainly in the past when we've

377
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: looked at these meals, Coals have come up time and

378
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: time again. And this podcast isn't sponsored by Coals. We

379
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: will be always very transparent if we are sponsored on

380
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: any episode about products. So but we have time and

381
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: time again found that in these pre made type meals

382
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: that Coals are outdoing the market in terms of what

383
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: they're offering quality wise. So you know, seventeen percent is high.

384
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: You're getting what you pay for. The carbs are much lower.

385
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: Can you're getting Astraian beach. Is it a low calorie meal. No,

386
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: But for someone who's active or not actively trying to

387
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: lose weight or adding plenty of salad or vege with

388
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: a sodium of just four hundred and eighty, this is

389
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: a great product. This is you know, I would give

390
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: this an eight nine out of ten as a Lasign

391
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: your product, with the exception of ideally you'd sort of

392
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: serve it with plenty of veggies. But for me, this

393
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: is a standout in terms of a family product. If

394
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: you are going to buy Lasign, you're pre made, you're

395
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: much better to spend and get this, or head over

396
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: to Aldi and get something that's much more cost effective

397
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: because you're basically getting good quality beef and a much

398
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: lower sodium content.

399
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really like this one. I mean the price

400
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: is a lot more like seven dollars already compared to

401
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: two dollars, which, if you're resting the money happy you

402
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: spend for quality, this one is far better because okay,

403
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: we've got Australian beef for one, we know it's coming

404
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: from it's Aussie, whereas the beef coming from. In the

405
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: ALDI product, we don't know. It just says beef. I

406
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 2: would assume it's overseas. It's no hormone added. As well,

407
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: when you look at the regulations within beef with an

408
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: Australia compared to the rest of the world, they inject hormones,

409
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: there's a lot of antibodic use and that sort of thing.

410
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: Austraian beef is very tightly regulated. I really wouldn't be

411
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 2: recommending beef or meat from anywhere else but Astraya if

412
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: you can buy it. And also if you look at

413
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: SUSI the protein is so high. Look at the chetta

414
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: cheese amount. You've got ingredient lists be fragu sauce, besha

415
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: maal sauce design its sheets, then cheddar cheese. It's pretty

416
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 2: high up the ingredient list, whereas in the Aldi one

417
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: it's only three percent of chetta cheese. So I think

418
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: there's a larger percentage of cheese in this one as well,

419
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: which would boost up our protein as well. And I'm

420
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: just having a look to see if you can buy

421
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: it as a family pack at coals. I know there's

422
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: a larger vegetable lasagna in that coal's kitchen range. I'm

423
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: not finding online a family variety that's larger, because if

424
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 2: you had to feed a family with this, like, you know,

425
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: that's going to be what thirty two dollars worth of lasagna,

426
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 2: that's not going to be affordable for many families, So

427
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: much better suited as a lunch meal or for a

428
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: singles as opposed to feeding a family. You know, maybe

429
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: you get the this sounds terrible, Maybe you get the

430
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: more expensive one for mom and dad, and you get

431
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: the kids the two dollars one from Audi.

432
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: Yeah.

433
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think if you're looking at clinical health conditions,

434
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: if you have heart disease or failure, if you're looking

435
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: at the sodium content, you definitely want this coals be

436
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: it's a beef ragu lasagna. I'll make that specific as well.

437
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: And also if you're looking at you know your carbohydrate distribution,

438
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 2: you're insulin resistant, you're a type two diabetic or a

439
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: type one diabetic. The carbohydrate content, so per hundred grams

440
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: of the coals beef ragu one is only eight grams

441
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: per hundred grams compared to the Aldi one is thirteen

442
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: grams per hundred grams, so you're getting an extra four

443
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 2: grams per hundred grams, and by four hundred you know what,

444
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: an extra sixteen grams basically for the same serving size.

445
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: So it's about a serving of carbohydrates extra. And that

446
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: reflects in the ingredient lists, where the cook pasta is

447
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: twenty four percent in the Aldi one compared to only

448
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: nineteen percent in the pasta in the Coals one. So

449
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: I think overall, better ingredient lists, better macronutrient distribution, but

450
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: the price point is a bit of a kicker. I

451
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 2: would ditch the wil West one. I probably wouldn't even

452
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: go near that. I'll ever recommend that. And honestly, SUSI,

453
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: if you look at it, I wouldn't. I wouldn't touch

454
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: it with a ten foot fold. It looks horrible to me.

455
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't buy that. It doesn't look appealing whatsoever. Whereas

456
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: I think the Aldi and the Coals one are far

457
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: better presented, at least in the front of packeted package

458
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: serving size sort of thing. So I think coals would

459
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: be number one for me Thanaludi.

460
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: True, and I've just had a look. See they've got

461
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: the large one point TiO quilo vegetable coals kitcheners. I

462
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: knew that retails for twelve dollars, so again quite affordable

463
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: for families. I'm not seeing the family size of this

464
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: same profile for Coals Kitchen, so hopefully they may consider

465
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: bringing it into a larger serve that's more family friendly.

466
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, even if it was retailing for say fifteen

467
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: dollars for the family, that's a really affordable, nutritionally rich meal.

468
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: But that may be preventing them doing it. They can't

469
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: do it cheap enough for supermarket pricing with the quality,

470
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: and hence they're just keeping it as a standalone and

471
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: all those factors come into play with supermarkets, what they

472
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: can sell for and whether people can actually afford it,

473
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: and they may have found that they can only run

474
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: it as an individual serve.

475
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 2: I would just say, yeah, a family size would be

476
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: like thirty five dollars.

477
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: Certainly a lot of benefits there. So for me, yeah,

478
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: I'd be giving it an eight or nine. For a

479
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: Lasagnia product, I'd give the Audi you know, seven seven

480
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: and a half purely just from a cost perspective and

481
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: what you do get. But yeah, I would buy the

482
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: Woollies one either. I'm pretty disappointed in that and yeah,

483
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: we can only try and encourage our supermarkets to be

484
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: making better quality food and have that available at affordable

485
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: prices for Australian families. But I thought this has really

486
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: certainly been very eye opening for me todayly and looking

487
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: at these because I, as I said, spent a significant

488
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: amount of time getting dinner for my family and couldn't

489
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: believe the differences in some of these products.

490
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: And I just want to bring home the point about

491
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: when we're saying, you know, nine out of ten, seven

492
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 2: out of ten, I want people, I just want to

493
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: reiterate what SUSI said. For a lasagna. We're not saying

494
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: that this product is a nine out of ten and

495
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: it beats a salad pack or making some salmon and

496
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: veggies by yourself. Absolutely not. But when we're comparing just

497
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 2: you know, frozen pre made lasagnas with a fresh or

498
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 2: frozen from only the lasagne section pre made ones, we're

499
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: giving it a nine, and we're giving it a seven,

500
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 2: and we're giving it a six. It doesn't mean that

501
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: overrule this product is a nine out of ten from

502
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: a health perspective. It just means that based on all

503
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 2: of the lasagnas within range, that we looked at this

504
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: is one of the better ones. So I just want

505
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 2: to make that very clear people going away, saying Susan

506
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: Leanne said that eating lasagna for dinner's a nine out

507
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: of ten choice. It's not it's definitely an occasional option.

508
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: It's probably not a great thing for health if you're

509
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: going to do that really regularly, but definitely, you know,

510
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: once a week or a couple of times a month

511
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: or something, it's absolutely okay to do as part of

512
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: a balanced, you know, family meal. I just really wanted

513
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: to make that clip.

514
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: And certainly better than any kind of takeaway or fast

515
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: food option, much much better than that when you're getting

516
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: deep fried and fast food meal deals. So that's another

517
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: good way of looking at it, and probably more cost

518
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: effective too. All right, Well, that brings us to the

519
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: end of the Nutrition Couch product review for another week.

520
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,880
