1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: The pre made meal section is one of the fastest

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: growing areas of the supermarket, with busy lifestyles relying more

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: and more on time and cost effective options for both

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: singles and families. Today we take a closer look at

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: the lasagnias 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
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: the differences between different brands that we find. Hi I'm

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Susi Burrew and Amile and Wood and as two of

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: us jays leading dieticians, we bring you the Nutrition Couch

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Product Review, a weekly chat on new products and old

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: favorites you can find at supermarkets. Nelly and why little

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: boys who are six love to eat lasagna? And in

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: the good old days, I would sort of do a

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: big cook up with my mum and we would layer

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot of vegetables and extraly mince and perhaps

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: freeze it. But I can't even tell you the last

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: time I've had time or energy to do that. But

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: it can be a really nutritious grape meal to tack

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: away if you do have time. But I guess in

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: current times also not inexpensive when you take into account

21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: the cost of veggies and good quality meat to make

22
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: a lasagna. So I haven't done it for ages and ages.

23
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: What about you, guys? Are you regularly making your own?

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: Are you more likely to pick up something at the supermarket?

25
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: No, I never buy a lasagna. I just don't find

26
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: that that sort of satisfying. I'm not big into mints,

27
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: and if I do, I have to buy the super

28
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: lean type because I just I don't know. If I

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: bought a lasagna in the supermarket, to me, I just

30
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: wouldn't feel great after eating that. I just feel like

31
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: it's a bit too sort of heavy and rich. So

32
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: I am a fan of a zanni. We don't need

33
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: a lot of pasta in my household. With big potato rice,

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: you know Mexican type people with me like you know,

35
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: our tacos and that sort of thing. We don't need

36
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: a whole lot of pasta. But if we do, we do.

37
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: I do love to build my own lasagna, and you know,

38
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: I put the lean mince shield. I put lots of

39
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: legumes in it, like some lentils. I love substituting the

40
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: sort of what is it that beechhamel cream layer for

41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: something like rocotta cheese or cottage cheese, and then of

42
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: course I'm like you, I layer and a ton of

43
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: veggue shield as well, and I always do a double

44
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: bachelor zangnia, like it takes so long to make that

45
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna make it. I'm going

46
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: to make two or three serves, so I'll make two

47
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: massive lasagnia dishes. You know, might get out sixteen serves

48
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: it or something and box it up and it all

49
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: goes into the freezer. And that's something we might have

50
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: occasionally on like a Friday night when we're just like, oh,

51
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: can't be bothered cooking, but also we're like kind of

52
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: want to keep our tails on track, won't get takeaway,

53
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: I want to save some money. We'll pull out some

54
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: frozen lasagna, hit it up like it with a side salad,

55
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: and it's just a really easy quick dinner. We've always

56
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: got some sort of lasagna or curry in the freezer

57
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: that I've sort of meal prepped in advance.

58
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: You're right, it is really time consuming, and I remember

59
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: living with Italians that they would literally cook it for

60
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: a day by the time that they did the sauce

61
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: and got the flavor. So it can be amazing and

62
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: like you, I tend to prefer the quality of when

63
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: you make yourself because the meat contents tend to be

64
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: much higher and much leaner. But I know that there's

65
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people who do need quick and easy options,

66
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: and there's quite a number of different lasignians with quite

67
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: a range of nutritional profile, so we thought it was

68
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: a really good one to share today for busy families.

69
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: So the first one we're going to take a look

70
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: at is one from Audi. Now. I'm a big fan

71
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: of the frozen food section at Audi in general. I

72
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: find they're really cost effective options and in general some

73
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: very nutritionally sound options. Dumplings come to mind as one

74
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: of my favorite products, and a lot of the veggies,

75
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: but we've chosen that as I here today obviously, and

76
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: this is a four hundred gram individual section of a

77
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: frozen variety which retails for just two dollars twenty five.

78
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: So that is an extremely cost effective option. You know,

79
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: you add some veggies to that and it's a filling,

80
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: tasty meal, but how does it look nutritionally? So for

81
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: the four hundred grams serving, it clocks in it just

82
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: over five hundred calories or twyd two hundred and eighty kilodel,

83
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: so quite a substantial load. As a reference, at least

84
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: a dinner meal would be at least four or five

85
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: hundred calories for a female. It's probably a little bit

86
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: small for a male. Twenty five point two grams of protein,

87
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: which I have to say is a nice amount. Twenty

88
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: four point eight grams of fat. Now it isn't a

89
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: low fat food here. It's got six point two grams

90
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: of overall fat. It would need to be less than

91
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: three grams to be a low fat product. The saturated

92
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: fats pretty good though. You know, it's almost less than

93
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: three percent saturated fat, which is suggesting the meat is

94
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: reasonable quality. Fifty two point eight grams of carbohydrate per serving,

95
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: six point four amps of sugars, which is actually pretty

96
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: low for that gram so per percentage, that's almost less

97
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: than one percent sugars, which is a good sign. Massive

98
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: whack of salt in their twelve hundred milligrams, which is

99
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: more than half hour recommended daily intake of sodium. So

100
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: they're certainly not going light on the salt. If we

101
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: look at the ingredients, and they're pretty long in a

102
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: product like lasagna, So it's twenty four percent cooked pasta.

103
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: The sauce is coming in at twenty three percent beciml

104
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: which is the creamy sauce with a mixture of milk,

105
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: some cream as well, a little bit of butter some

106
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: vegetable oil. So giving it I would say a reasonable

107
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: taste in texture. Now, the number I'm always looking for

108
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: on a lasagne lean is the percentage of meat in it,

109
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: because ultimately that's what we're spending money on, and it

110
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: is fourteen percent beef, which when we compare it to

111
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: some of the other brands you'll see is actually pretty good.

112
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: And as I said, I would infer the quality to

113
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: be quite good since the fat of it is pretty good.

114
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: Profile seven percent tomatoes, some ferming agent, tomato paste, some

115
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: red wine, some cheddar, and then we go down the

116
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: least onion, carrots, very thickeners, et cetera to fill it out.

117
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: So it's quite long list, but you would expect that

118
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: from a mixed dish like a lasagna. Now, I have

119
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: to be honestly, and I reckon it's pretty good for

120
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: the price two bucks for fourteen percent beef. I would

121
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: buy this product, you know, I would recommend this product.

122
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: I think it's sound I think for the price, you

123
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: can't go wrong with that. You know, the sodium probably

124
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: is the only thing that stands out to me is

125
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 1: a bit of concern, Like that is really a lot,

126
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: mind you, that kind of Italian food. It is going

127
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: to be difficult to get it much lower than say

128
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: eight hundred. But yeah, I certainly would be recommending it

129
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: for my busy young guys, my women perhaps who needed

130
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: a filling, carbohydrate rich meal, particularly if they teamed it

131
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: with loads of salad or edge and pleasantly surprised with

132
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: this audi lasagna.

133
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: What do you think, Yeah, I'm fifty to fifty like,

134
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: I wouldn't cause I'm big on volume based eating, so

135
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: you'd have to add a lot of veggies and salad

136
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: onto the side of that. I think if you just

137
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: would have warmed that up, I feel like it's a

138
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: fair like a carbohydrate. You know, fifty three grams of carbs,

139
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: serves great protein twenty five grams and you know, five

140
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: forty calories. It's pretty light for most people. I mean,

141
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: if you're small and you're not that active, it's probably

142
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: a little bit too much. But for most of our

143
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: you know, active relatively average weight people and above I

144
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: think it's It's pretty good calorie wise, isn't it. But

145
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: I'm just I don't know. It absolutely needs some more

146
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: veggies and salad on the side, and the sodium, as

147
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: you said, is kind of concerning if you're eating a

148
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: lot of package based, pre made products, right, But if

149
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: the rest of your diet it's pretty whole food and

150
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: this is an occasional thing that you're going to keep

151
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: in the freezer for just an occasional busy night where

152
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: you don't want to cook. I think that's fine. But

153
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: if you're having this multiple times a week, or you're

154
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: relying on frozen meals heavily, I would probably rethink this

155
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: from a sodium perspective, and even just a volume based perspective.

156
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be that billing. I

157
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: would think that if I heated this up, it wouldn't

158
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: be enough for me. I'd need some more, whether it

159
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: was extra you know, veggies or salad on the side

160
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: or something like that. But otherwise it's not it's not

161
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: too bad overall. There's nothing in there, you know, as

162
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: she said, ingredient list is pretty long and pretty hardy,

163
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: but there's nothing in there that's overly, you know, would

164
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: be overly cautious of put it that way, Like it's

165
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: just the standard products that you'd make lasagni from pasta, cream, water, butter, milk,

166
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: a little bit of red wine, tomato paste, some veggies

167
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: and mince. Yeah, so I'm like you, I would sort

168
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: of give it maybe I don't know, six or seven

169
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: out of ten. I'd hasten to think i'd give any

170
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: sort of pre made lazangnia or ten. So six or

171
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: seven is pretty good from my side of things.

172
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: Oh, no, I would agree. I would give it probably seven,

173
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: maybe seven and a half. Because it is a process food,

174
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's certainly not as good as a homemade

175
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: I think the reason I think it's quite good for

176
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: the price. Yeah, the price is great, but it's a

177
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: four hundred gram serve, Like that's quite a good whack

178
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: of lasagna. Like if I was eating that on my plate,

179
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I'd eat four hundred grams. So I

180
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: think you're right, of course you need two three cups

181
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: of salad or bitch with it. But for fifty grams

182
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 1: a carp that I think for two bucks, like twenty

183
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: five grams of protein, that's a pretty wide spend. Yeah,

184
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: in general, particularly when we have a look at a

185
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: second some of the others which are a bit underwhelming.

186
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: The cost is definitely a winner. Yeah, and you're for

187
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: twenty five grams of protein.

188
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Pause that thought for a second. We'll go on

189
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: to the woo West beef lasagna. Now, they're about three

190
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: or four different types of Woolies branded lasagna in supermarket.

191
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: And the reason I know that is that I recently

192
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: bought one for the family, so I spent quite a

193
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: lot of time going through them. So there's the frozen one,

194
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: and then there's kind of the gourmet one, and then

195
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: there's the quick and easy one. So this the best

196
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: way to describe this one is the family sized pack,

197
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: which you know, I think it is packaged just kind

198
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: of a premium product, and so when I have a

199
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: look at it, I have to be honest, I'm a

200
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: bit disappointed. So the first ingredients water twenty two percent

201
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: pasta and the reason I'm so disappointed is that the

202
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: beef is only sitting at nine percent, which is incredibly

203
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: low for a product that you would say is heavily

204
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: meat based. Tomato pays seven, so that's compared to the

205
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Audi which was what was that fourteen percent? And we'll

206
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: look at the price points in a second. So tomato

207
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: pays seven percent, tapioka flower, carrot, butter, onya, celery, milk,

208
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: dried whole milk. So the labels better. It gives us

209
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: a lot greater insight into what's going into it than

210
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: we can infer from Aldi's. Is it clean, I don't

211
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: know it's I don't think it's that much cleaner. It

212
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: just looks at the way they've written it. But wheat flour,

213
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: texted vegetable protein, so that's got some sort of bulking

214
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: agent there. Canola oil, onion, seasoning, beef powder, garlic, salt, sugar, propica,

215
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: natural preservative. So even though it looks like a cleaner list,

216
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: when you actually take a closer look, the actual strong

217
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: ingredients are much lower overall, and that is inferred by

218
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: the nutrition. So the serving size recommended here as chundred

219
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: and fifty grams, so that gives you just over four

220
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: hundred calories, So you have to kind of do the

221
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: maths a little bit in your head with that, but

222
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: basically it's giving you quite a lot of calories for

223
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: a lot less nutrition. So we're getting on twelve grams

224
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: of protein perserve. Now, admittedly the ALDI say four hundred

225
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: and you're getting twenty five, and this is two fifty.

226
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: You're only getting twelve, So still less protein overall, similar fat,

227
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: I should say, three percent of that traded fat as well,

228
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: thirty grams of carbs, three grams of sugars a little

229
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: tiny bit more, three grams of fiber, sodium five sixty three,

230
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: So it is lower in sodium than the AUDI product.

231
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: But I'm just underwhelmed ly and in general that it's

232
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: sort of a significant like a third less meat in

233
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: that product that you're getting.

234
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what they've done. Tell me, I've

235
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: sworked out what they've done. So that textual vegetable protein

236
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: that you know, how you ever seen that in the

237
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: vegetarian section, Like you add water too and it fluffs up.

238
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: It sort of looks like mincemeat, like it's a vegetarian

239
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 2: protein alternative. So the protein content is actually quite high.

240
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: When you look at the ALDI product, right, that is

241
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: per serving four hundred grams. This is preserving two fifty grams.

242
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: If you match that four hundred grams and four hundred grams,

243
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: the protein's actually nineteen point two, so it's a lot higher,

244
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: like it's only you know, five grams less than the

245
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: other ones. Although it's very low beef. They've actually added

246
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: in textured vegetable protein to boost the overall protein. That's

247
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: what they've done. And the fiber is a little bit

248
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: better as well, because the texted vegetable protein has some

249
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 2: good fiber in it. So they're giving you a relatively

250
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: like nineteen grams per serves. You know, it's pretty good

251
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: for a frozen meal. They're giving you a relatively higher

252
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: protein based product. But they're saving themselves money because they're

253
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: adding less beef and they're using some vegetable protein to

254
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: top it up. So from a wolf's perspective, I think

255
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: they've done quite well. But if you're paying more for

256
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: it compared to the Aldi one, you're not paying for

257
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: the beef, So you know, Wolves is done all right.

258
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: They're saving themselves some money, and nutritionally it's not too bad,

259
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: Like you're right. The ingredient list is probably oh, it's

260
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: a little bit cleaner than the Aliti one, but nutritionally

261
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: I don't think it stacks up quite as well. And

262
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: price wise, I think it's a little bit more expensive.

263
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: Isn't it.

264
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm just doing the numbers now, and so

265
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: it's about so the Woolies for two kilows, so it's

266
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: a big tray retails at thirteen dollars fifty and so

267
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: the equivalent amount, so five hundred grams times four is

268
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: giving you about nine dollars. So it's actually cheaper to

269
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: buy four Audis for better nutritional profile and no fillers

270
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: that it is to pay thirteen dollars. You're going to

271
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: say five four dollars by doing that, and you're getting

272
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: better nutritional quality and more meat, significantly more meat than

273
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: the Williese brand, which to me is a bit horrifying.

274
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I'm not happy with that at all.

275
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was going to say the perks of the

276
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: worst one would be if you're actively trying to cut

277
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: down the amount of animal product you have, or like

278
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: the saturated fat profile is lower as well, that would

279
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: be a benefit. But I like the Audi one because

280
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: it is single serve and portion controlled as well. Right, Like,

281
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: it's better if somebody if you had a big trail

282
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: las on you in front of you and you cut

283
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: it up into I don't know what eight ten, twelve, slices,

284
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: and you kept going back for more and more, just

285
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: putting your spoon through, and you know, just you know

286
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: how you do. It's on the counter. You just have

287
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: another spoon, another spoon, and another spoon. Then you've not

288
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 2: only eaten a serve, you've eaten like a serve and

289
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: a half because you keep going back for more. I

290
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: do like that the audi one is preportioned as well.

291
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: I do, and I like it comparatively. And to be honest,

292
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: if I was buying or when I bought a lasagna,

293
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: the only thing I went for was the percentage of meat.

294
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: I basically paid for the product that had the highest

295
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: proportion of meat overall, and I think I ended up

296
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: getting like an individual sort of gourmet one in the

297
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: front of the supermarket rather than any of these family

298
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: packs because I was underwhelmed. So it's really I'm finding

299
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: this really fascinating land, all right. So the third one

300
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: we're going to take a look at is the Cole's

301
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: Kitchen Beef Lasagna. Now, Leanne and I've had to get

302
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: our mats out because the way the label is listed

303
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: is a little bit on the confusing side. So we

304
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: think we've got the numbers right for you now. So

305
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: this is an individual portion pack of four hundred grams,

306
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: so it's slightly less than smaller in size than the

307
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: AUDI one, and it reach outs for seven dollars eighty.

308
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: So certainly the Audi.

309
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: Was four hundred grads. It was the auty four hundred size. Yes, yeah,

310
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: it's the same size.

311
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: Or not five hundred, Okay, So the cost of the

312
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: AUDI is or like eleven dollars but still cheaper. Sorry,

313
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: but this is certainly positioned as more of a gourmet

314
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, this is in that section of the supermarket

315
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: at the front where the individual meals are sold at

316
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: premium prices. So this is seven dollars eighty, which is,

317
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: you know what, three times what you're paying for the AUDI.

318
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: Amount of a lasagna certainly looks very beautiful on the

319
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: label per serve, certainly not low calories. So it's two thousand,

320
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: two hundred killogels, which is again over five hundred calories

321
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: per serve, so not insignificant. Thirty five grams of protein,

322
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: so that would be suggesting that there's a good amount

323
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: of meat in that. Twenty six point eight grams are

324
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: fat and very similar overall fat profile to both the

325
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: AUDI and woollies from what we can infer of the

326
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: meat in terms of relatively low saturated fat for bees,

327
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: thirty three point two grams of carbohydrate land so that's

328
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: actually would suggest a lot less carbohydrate or pasta in

329
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: that product compared to the AUDI which is coming in

330
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: at fifty. So you would assume perhaps less pasta and

331
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: more meat in this product. Getting six point four grams

332
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: of fiber, which is interesting, that's actually really high for lasagna,

333
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: and the sodium is incredibly low at four hundred and

334
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: eighty and that is incredibly low. So certainly if one

335
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: of your goals is to reduce thirtym intake, this would

336
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: be the product for you. Now, this is where we're

337
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: getting a little bit confused, so we're going to do

338
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: our best to get these numbers right for you. So

339
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: it's listed as the bee fra goof sauce is fifty

340
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: four percent of the overall product, the bescheral sauce, so

341
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: the creamy sauce is twenty four percent and the lasagna

342
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: just twenty nineteen percent, which is why that carbohydrate load

343
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: of this designia is much lower than the AUDI product.

344
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: And then we've got cheddar cheese beefra goose sauce which

345
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: contains thirty two percent Australian beef. Now we are then

346
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: taking that to be thirty two percent of fifty four percent,

347
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: which we worked out coming in at ten percent meat,

348
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: which is still lower than the AUDI product, A tiny

349
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: tad bit higher than will He's not much still for me,

350
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: Leanne a little bit on the l side. Tomato City

351
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: of Regulated Mineral Salt water out Tomato past regulators, sery onion, carrot,

352
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: red wine, canola oil, cornstars, crushed garlic. Very similar ingredients

353
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: that we're seeing across the board in terms of a

354
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: baseline lasagna, beef flavor, salt, time, oregano, vesterial sauce, et cetera,

355
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: et cetera. Now I am struggling a little bit. Maybe

356
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing something to see how this product has

357
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: got thirty five grams of protein per four hundred grams,

358
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: which is a huge amount more than the Woollies brand,

359
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: which came in at just twelve. Mind you, the serving

360
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: size is small, but still even double the serving size,

361
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: it's still significantly less. And the AUDI product, which comes

362
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: at at twenty five grams with that meat load at

363
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: ten percent, maybe we're not calculating it right, I don't know,

364
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: what do you think.

365
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: I think thirty two percent of the beef frogo sauce,

366
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: which is fifty four percent, Like if you go fifty

367
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: four percent times point three two, it's seventeen percent. I

368
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: think the bee for seventeen percent, not ten percent seventeen

369
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,440
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 beat like it's no Australian, it's

371
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: no hormone added Austraian beef versus the Aliti one is

372
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: just beef, so I think. But I think it's just

373
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: a bit better quality beef as well. And you would

374
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: hope solely, and you're paying a lot more for us

375
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: you're eight dollars like you would want it to be.

376
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: And certainly in the past when we've looked at these meals,

377
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: coals have come up time and time again. And this

378
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 2: podcast isn't sponsored by coal, as we will be always

379
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: very transparent if we are sponsored in any episode about products.

380
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 2: So but we have time and time again found that

381
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: in these pre made type meals that coals are outdoing

382
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: the market in terms of what they're offering quality wise.

383
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: So you know, seventeen percent is high. You're getting what

384
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: you pay for, the carbs are much lower and getting

385
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: Astraian beach.

386
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: Is it a low calorie meal. No, But for someone

387
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: who's active or not actively trying to lose weight or

388
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: adding plenty of salad or vege with a sodium of

389
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: just four hundred and eighty, this is a great product.

390
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: This is you know, I would give this an eight

391
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: nine out of ten as a Lasagn your product, with

392
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: the exception of ideally you'd sort of serve it with

393
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: plenty of veggies. But for me, this is a standout

394
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: in terms of a family product. If you were going

395
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: to buy Lasign, you're pre made, you're much better to

396
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: spend and get this, or head over to Aldi and

397
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: get something that's much more cost effective because you're basically

398
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: getting good quality beef and a much lower sodium content.

399
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really like this one. I mean the price

400
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: is a lot more like seven dollars already compared to

401
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 2: two dollars for a single money you're happy you spend

402
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: for quality. This one is far better because okay, we've

403
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 2: got Australian beef for one, Like we know it's coming from.

404
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 2: It's Aussie whereas the beef coming from in the ALDI product,

405
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: we don't know. It just says beef. I would assume

406
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 2: it's overseas. It's no hormone added. As well, when you

407
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: look at the regulations within beef with an Australia compared

408
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: to the rest of the world, they inject hormones, there's

409
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: a lot of antibodic use and that sort of thing.

410
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: Austraian beef is very tightly regulated. I really wouldn't be

411
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: recommending beef or meat from anywhere else but Australia if

412
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: you can buy it. And also if you look at

413
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: SUSI the protein is so high. Look at the cheta

414
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: cheese amount you've got ingredient lists bee fragu sauce, besha

415
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 2: mal sauce, lasan it sheets then cheddar cheese. It's pretty

416
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: high up the ingredient list, whereas in the Aldi one

417
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: it's only three percent cheddar cheese. So I think there's

418
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: a larger percentage of cheese in this one as well,

419
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: which would boost up our protein as well. And I'm

420
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: just having a look to see if you can buy

421
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: it as a family pack at coals. I know there's

422
00:19:21,600 --> 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
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: you had to feed a family with this, like you know,

425
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: that's going to be what thirty two dollars worth of lasagna,

426
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: that's not going to be affordable for many families, So

427
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: much better suited as a lunch meal or for a

428
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: singles as opposed to feeding a family. You know, maybe

429
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: you get the this sounds terrible, Maybe you get the

430
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: more expensive one for mom and dad, and you get

431
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: the kids the two dollars one from Audi. Yeah. Yeah,

432
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: But I think if you're looking at clinical health conditions,

433
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: if you have heart disease or failure, if you're looking

434
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: at the sodium content, you definitely want this coals beef.

435
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: It's a beef ragu lasagna. I'll make that specific as well.

436
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: And also, if you're looking at you know your carbohydrate distribution,

437
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: and you're insulin resistant, you're a type two diabetic or

438
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: a type one diabetic. The carbohydrate content so per hundred

439
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: grams of the coals beef ragu one is only eight

440
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: grams per hundred grams, compared to the Aldi one is

441
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 2: thirteen grams per hundred grams so you're getting an extra

442
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: four grams per hundred grams, and by four hundred, you

443
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: know what, an extra sixteen grams basically for the same

444
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: serving size. So it's about a serving of carbohydrates extra.

445
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: And that reflects in the ingredient lists, where the cook

446
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: pasture is twenty four percent in the Aldi one compared

447
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: to only nineteen percent in the pasta in the Coals one.

448
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 2: So I think overall, better ingredient lists, better macronutrient distribution,

449
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: but the price point is a bit of a kicker.

450
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: I would ditch the wol West one. I probably wouldn't

451
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: even go near that. I'll ever recommend that. And honestly, SUSI,

452
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: if you look at it, I wouldn't. I wouldn't touch

453
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: it with a ten foot fold. It looks horrible to me.

454
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't buy that. It doesn't look appealing whatsoever. Whereas

455
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: I think the Aldi and the Coals one are far

456
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: better presented, at least in the front of packeted package

457
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: serving size sort of thing. So I think coals would

458
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: be number one for me Thanudi.

459
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: True, and I've just had a look. See they've got

460
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: the large one point tu quilo vegetable Coals kitcheners. I

461
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: knew that retails for twelve dollars, so again quite affordable

462
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: for families. I'm not seeing the family size of this

463
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: same profile for Coals Kitchen, so hopefully they may consider

464
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: bringing it into a larger serve that's more family friendly.

465
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: You know, even if it was retailing for say fifteen

466
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: dollars for the family, that's a really affordable, nutritionally rich meal.

467
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: But that may be preventing them doing it. They can't

468
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: do it cheap enough for supermarket pricing with the quality,

469
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: and hence they're just keeping it as a standalone and

470
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: all those factors come into play with supermarkets, what they

471
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: can sell for and whether people can actually afford it,

472
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: and they may have found that they can only run

473
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: it as an individual serve.

474
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 2: I would just say, yeah, a family size would be

475
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: like thirty five dollars.

476
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: Certainly a lot of benefits there. So for me, yeah,

477
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: I'd be giving it an eight or nine. For a

478
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Lasagnia product, I'd give the Audi, you know, seven seven

479
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: and a half purely just from a cost perspective and

480
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: what you do get. But yeah, I would buy the

481
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: Wullies one either. I'm pretty disappointed in that, and yeah,

482
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: we can only try and encourage our supermarkets to be

483
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: making better quality food and have that available at affordable

484
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: prices for Australian families. But I thought this has really

485
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: certainly been very eye opening for me today and looking

486
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: at these because I, as I said, spent a significant

487
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: amount of time getting dinner for my family and couldn't

488
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: believe the differences in some of these products.

489
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: And I just want to bring home the point about

490
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: when we're saying, you know, nine out of ten, seven

491
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 2: out of ten, I want people I just want to

492
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: reiterate what SUSI said. For a lasagna. We're not saying

493
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: that this product is a nine out of ten and

494
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: it beats a salad pack or making some salmon and

495
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: veggies by yourself. Absolutely not. But when we're comparing just

496
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 2: you know, frozen pre made lasagnas with a fresh or

497
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: frozen from only the lasagna section pre made ones, we're

498
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: giving it a nine, and we're giving it a seven,

499
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: or we're giving it a six. It doesn't mean that

500
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: overrule this product is a nine out of ten from

501
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 2: a health perspective. It just means that based on all

502
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: of the lasagnas within range, that we looked at this

503
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 2: is one of the better ones. So I just want

504
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 2: to make that very clear people going away, saying Susan

505
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: Leanne said that eating lasagna for dinner's a nine out

506
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: of ten choice. It's not it's definitely an occasional option.

507
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 2: It's probably not a great thing for health if you're

508
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: going to do that really regularly, but definitely, you know,

509
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: once a week or a couple of times a month

510
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: or something, it's absolutely okay to do as part of

511
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: a balanced, you know, family meal. I just really wanted

512
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: to make that clipp.

513
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: And certainly better than any kind of takeaway or fast

514
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: food option, or much much better than that when you're

515
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: getting deep fried and fast food meal deals. So that's

516
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: another good way of looking at it, and probably more

517
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: cost effective too. All right, Well, that brings us to

518
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: the end of the Nutrition Couch product review for another week.

519
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,840
