They're a good little hackey. We 28 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: started in the last couple of months together, so that's 29 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: been fun. It's a true friend. When they give you 30 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: one of those, I feel because they're like really wanting 31 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: you to be They're either telling you you're looking old 32 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: or they're keen for you to remain young. So I think, yeah, 33 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: that was a beautiful gift. I'm very grateful. 34 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm using my mask. The children aren't scared when I 35 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: use it. So watch this space beautition catch listeners because 36 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: both of us are going to be getting younger very quickly. 37 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: With our collagen exactly exactly. Oh yeah, I don't know. 38 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like I need a break 39 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 2: from my break, you know feeling. And I feel like 40 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: pretty much everyone probably feels the same way that it's 41 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: just January is just so hectic, Like I don't know 42 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: anybody that is relaxed. And then in January it's just 43 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: such a busy month. I think whether or not you 44 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 2: have kids. If you're back at work, it's in full 45 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: swing of your unit, it's in full swing. It's just 46 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: really a hectic month. So I wouldn't say I'm relaxed 47 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: per se, but I've got some big goals this year. 48 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: We're making a little bit of progress towards them. But yeah, 49 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: it's been it's been a funny. It's been a funny 50 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: start to the month. We did a lot of traveling 51 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: November December, and it was just just really really busy 52 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: a few months. So keen to kind of settle down 53 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: and get back into routine for our family is kind 54 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: of the goal for the next few months. What about you, guys. 55 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: You know what I think. 56 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: I think that we're delusional to think than in modern 57 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: life where we are now on technology twenty four seven, 58 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: that it's ever going to be quiet again, because I 59 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: hear constantly people saying, I'm exhausted, I'm dreading the school year. 60 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: You know, I need a holiday for my holiday, And 61 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: I just think this is the new norm and we 62 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: have to adjust for it, because to me, what makes 63 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: sense is we are stimulated every second of the day. 64 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: You know, we're on a screen and they we're on 65 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: our other screens and we get work at emails twenty 66 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: four to seven, and we're constantly like every time I 67 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: go to my Instagram, I am seeing all this stuff 68 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: about how to make more money, how to be your 69 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: best self, how to manifest, and I just think that 70 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: it's not a realistic perspective on life. I actually think 71 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: the best thing probably all of us can do, myself included, 72 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: is to spend less time online. And then I think 73 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: we're going to feel less exhausted all the time because 74 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: we're in a society in which we're taught. And it's 75 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: not irrelevant for diet goals either. You can always do better, 76 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: do more, add more, manifest more. If you're not achieving, 77 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: you're not focused enough. 78 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 2: And I actually call a bit of BS on it, 79 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: because there's a whole industry that's been built on telling 80 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: people to be better, do more, when I actually think 81 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: the secret to refreshing, replenishing, feeling more fulfilled is to 82 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: probably do less. And that actually links into what we 83 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: want to talk about in terms of meal prep. 84 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Rather than encouraging people to do more, you know, spend 85 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: more time cooking, more time shopping, more time self caring. 86 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: You know, how can you actually do less, so you 87 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: create more time, because the time in community relationship is 88 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: what's going to re energize us. It's actually not doing more, 89 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: being more setting more goals. 90 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: So I think that on one hand, yeah, I agree, 91 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: everyone is exhausted as I am greating themes, But deep 92 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: down in my soul, I know the actual goal is 93 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: for us to do less. 94 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: Because there's human beings. We're not programmed to be relentless, 95 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: and it's no wonder we always feel inadequate. We're constantly 96 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: shown a world that isn't even real about what ideal is, 97 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, And I think there's a risk with it. 98 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: So I think I'm going to try and actually really 99 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: turn off the social media in the evenings in particular, 100 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: and try and have that entire period to rest rather 101 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: than what we're taught online, which is to do more, 102 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: push harder if you're not achieving it because you haven't manifested, 103 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: which is actually all just bs like. So yeah, I think, 104 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: just be careful with where you get messaging from because 105 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: I think we're all, including myself, run That risk isn't 106 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: that of just being in that constant but we also 107 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: self perpetuated by giving our brain ar rest just to 108 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: be yeah. 109 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you look at some of the research 110 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: even just around like longevity and happiness around the world, 111 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 2: like it is really those those areas in the world 112 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: that promote that sense of community, that are some of them, 113 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: you know, the people that will live the longest and 114 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 2: happiest and healthiest lives as well. So I agree, I 115 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: think it is it is time to switch off that 116 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: little bit and even just go through and delete. I 117 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: deleted a bunch of apps off my phone the other 118 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: day that I just wasn't using all that we're just 119 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 2: distracting you and I was just ending up doom scrolling 120 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: on them at nighttime, as we all do. So I 121 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: think it's a good idea to, you know, do a 122 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: bit of a refresh of your social media, unfollow the 123 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 2: accounts that you know are not evidence space and not 124 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: promoting good messages, delete a lot of the apps on 125 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: your phone that you're not using, and you know, set 126 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: some screen time limits on your phone. I know on 127 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: my Apple phone, I can switch it to like nighttime 128 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: mode and basically switch it to like do not disturb 129 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: from like eight or nine o'clock if I want to. 130 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: So sometimes that's really helpful. So you're not getting like 131 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 2: ping notifications at nine or ten o'clock at night as well. 132 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: So I think it's a nice time of year to 133 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 2: do a full reset on everything, including technology as well. True, 134 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: and I've got to say there's a lot to be 135 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: said for a little bit of fantasies in near Lyanne, 136 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: because I have to be honest with you, something I'm 137 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: spending a huge amount of time doing through January, for 138 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: better or for worse, is watching The Rookie. Now. I 139 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: don't know if you've ever seen The Rookie. 140 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: It's a show on seven plus, but I have never 141 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: felt more excitement in my life over an actor on 142 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: that show called Eric Winter, who is a policeman and 143 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: let me tell you he is fulfilling so much of 144 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 1: my needs right now in terms of his uniform watching 145 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: him every night. I do it with the family, so 146 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: it can be considered quality time. And in my head lane, 147 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: I have a whole life away from reality with a 148 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: lice above policeman called Tim Bradford. So I can highly 149 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: recommend a little bit of fantasy in bringing a whole 150 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: lot more pleasure as well. And if you have not 151 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: seen The Rookie, I cannot recommend highly enough. There are 152 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: seven seasons or eight seasons, and it's really good TV, 153 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: and there is a lot of eye candy there if 154 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: you just need a little bit of escapism that. 155 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 2: All right to nutrition, Now we go. 156 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: Well, I will kick off our first segment of the podcast, 157 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: which is on meal prep perhacks, because meal preps something 158 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: that I have I think I would have been doing 159 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: for well over a decade now, because I like to 160 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: think I'm not I'm definitely not a lazy person, but 161 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: I'm an a fish in person, and I've always. 162 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: Found a meal prep one of the most efficient ways 163 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: to eat. Like when I was living by myself. Yes, 164 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: I was living in like a sharehouse with other people, 165 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: but we weren't sharing meals together. So if I was cooking, 166 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: I was cooking just for myself, and I just didn't 167 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: find it a fishing or a good use of my 168 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: time to cook myself a fresh lunch and afresh dinner 169 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: every single day. So I've always been a massive fan 170 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: of meal prep. Even now I've got a family, I've 171 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: got children, I've got David to look after as well 172 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: all the other way around, he looks after me. As 173 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: still fine, meal prep really helpful. Even though I work 174 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: from home, people are, oh, You've got all the time 175 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: in the world, you can make a fresh lunch each day. No, 176 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: the reality is, at most times I'm just re hitting 177 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: a meal prep, running between client calls, all the things 178 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: that I need to do. So we thought it was 179 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: about time that we had a bit of a chat 180 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 2: about meal prep and really more than meal prep hacks, 181 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: because I think it's you know, January. People like to, 182 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 2: you know, set some goals for the year. And if 183 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: you find your someone who regularly skips lunch, or who 184 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: regularly orders takeout, or you know, just stops by the 185 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: grocery store and spends like twenty thirty minutes in there 186 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: every night trying to figure out what to get. I 187 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: find that meal prep reduces a lot of the just 188 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: mental load and decision making that we have to do 189 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: later in the day because for the time it gets 190 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: to five or six o'clock at night, I can't for 191 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: the life when we make a conscious, healthy choice, I'm like, oh, 192 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: do I have for dinner? Great, hit it up. It's 193 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: got to have already been planned in thought about I've 194 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: got to buy my ingredients. There's no way I'm going 195 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: past words at six o'clock after I've got the kids 196 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: from daycare. There's just no way. So for me and 197 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 2: my family, meal prep works really well. I've come away 198 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: from prepping entire meals these days, Like I used to 199 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: prep all my breakfast or my lunch and all my 200 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: dinners and just kind of reheat that every couple of days. 201 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: But these days, I'll might make an overnight oats occasionally, 202 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: but most of the time I might just prep some 203 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 2: roasted vegetables right or I'll make the chicken and use 204 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 2: that for a couple of days in a few different dishes. 205 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: So when it comes to actually making lunch or making dinner, 206 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: sort of half of it's already been made, if that 207 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: makes sense, So you don't necessarily have to meal prep 208 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: the entire meal. You can prep portions of that meal 209 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: to make it easier. Because if you're making a steal 210 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: fry for dinner and your chicken's already been marinated and 211 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: cooked in it's in the fridge waiting, all you've got 212 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: to do is chop up your veggies. You can even 213 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: pre chop them. You just dump them in a wok. 214 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: You put your noodles in, you put your chicken a 215 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: in a bit of sauce, and that's done in say 216 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 2: ten to fifteen minutes versus it might be thirty forty 217 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: minutes from scratch. So it might not work for everybody, 218 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: but certainly for myself, I've found it a really great 219 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: just life for nutrition hack that works. So I think 220 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: what I normally tell my clients. One of the first 221 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: things is to focus on foods that actually keep really well. 222 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: Like some foods are just not made for meal prep. 223 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: So I find the best things that keep the three, 224 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 2: four or five days in the fridge. And when I 225 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: say keep well, it's got to be in a proper 226 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: meal prep container, you know, something that's airtight. I like 227 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: to use a lot of the glass containers over plastic. 228 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: These days, we know there's a bit of a risk 229 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 2: in terms of using too much plastic, so I'm a 230 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 2: big fan of glass meal prep containers, or if you 231 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: want to get the stainless steel ones, they're okay as well. 232 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: But best keepers are things like roasted vegetables, you know, 233 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 2: sweet potato, pumpkin carriage, broccoli roast and keat really well 234 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 2: batch cooking things like brown rice, quinoa, bit of pearl, cooscose, 235 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: that works really well as well. And you might think, oh, 236 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: it only takes I don't know, twenty minutes or so 237 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: to cook you know, a bit of rice or kinoa, 238 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: But that's twenty minutes saved at nighttime when you're exhausted 239 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: and you're busy, and slow cooked or baked proteins like 240 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: chicken breast, chicken thigh, mince, meat balls, pulled meats. Even 241 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: doing stuff in the slow cooker does really really well. 242 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 2: Like sometimes I'll put on a slow cooker with a 243 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: bit of pulled pork or something in the morning, have 244 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: that ready for dinner at nighttime. Then we can eat 245 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: that for a couple of days, but use that pulled 246 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: pork in different meals, like we might make a Mexican 247 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: salad bowl, we might have, you know, for heaters with 248 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: capsicums and onions, and then we might also use that 249 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: in I don't know, like some wraps or something on 250 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 2: the next so you don't have to eat the same 251 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: thing for like five days in a row. You can 252 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: partially prep foods that keep really well. And that's probably 253 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 2: my number one meal prep hack to keep things interesting 254 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: and keep a bit of variety. And then the other 255 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: number one or The second thing to be really mindful 256 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: of is to not dress any salads or use a 257 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 2: ton of sauces, because that makes things go really soggy 258 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: really fast, and it's just not nice for anyone. Don't 259 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: use a whole lot of fresh herbs because they don't 260 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 2: tend to keep really well as well, and really avoid 261 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: prepping anything that's like fried food as well, because that 262 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: can go pretty soggy pretty fast. So the best types 263 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: of things I like to prep are things like stir fries, curries. 264 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: As I said, any of those, like pulled meat kind 265 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: of dishes are really great. Anything else you can think 266 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: of sudsi, I think they're probably the best ones to 267 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 2: kind of meal prep. Bolonnaisers as well, or anything in 268 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: a slow cook goes really really well. Yeah, I just 269 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: think what I a key point is I come up 270 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: often with my clients where there's a belief that using 271 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: quick and easy supermarket. 272 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: Options is cutting corners. There's a belief that if you 273 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: go home and cut all your carrots up and cuttle 274 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: your potatoes up, you are morally a better person and 275 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: they're going to go to a better place when you 276 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: die because you prepared or your vegetables from scratch, and 277 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: I really wanted to also talk about there is no 278 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: prizes for doing everything from scratch when they are convenient options, 279 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: because I think we get a lot of feedback about 280 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: pre cut salads, pre marinated sauces, meats that are boxed. 281 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: You know, if I put up a post, we'd say 282 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: there's a marinated kebab. 283 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: I like it. Both Coles and Willies. I think they're 284 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: about ninety percent meat with like a ten percent marinate. 285 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: And if you look on the ingredient list, there's sugar 286 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 2: in the ingredient, there's maybe some food acids. And I 287 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: get all this flack online, Oh it's process, make your own, 288 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: And I'm like, without if I'm just going to say 289 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: f off, Like, first of all, who are you to 290 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: be questioning what I say? I'm the one with the 291 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: university degree. But why do you think you're moralistically superior 292 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: because you make your own marinate? 293 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: Because people are often making marinates and adding salts and 294 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: adding sugar and stuff to it. Anyway, if you making 295 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: a marinade with honey, people, it's sugar anyway. So there's 296 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: a lot of arrogance I find around people who think 297 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: that they're morally superior by not, And I do say 298 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: it come from older generations who perhaps didn't cook from 299 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: scratch because they didn't have as many convenient options available. 300 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: So when I wanted to really talk about and we've 301 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: got a fish example in a minute, there is no 302 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: need for busy women in particular feel guilty about using 303 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: pre made things. If you've got time, capacity, energy and 304 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: interest in making marinades from scratch. 305 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: You go for it. That's fantastic. It's up to you. 306 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: But you should never assume your options healthier either, because 307 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: unless you've got a nutrition degree, i'd be arguing it 308 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 2: may not be. But I would say supermarkets are really 309 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: coming to the party with a growing range of pre 310 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: made options. I found. 311 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: You know how we like that macro vegetable and chicken 312 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: resolve leaks, Well, I just noticed Coal's. I've got one 313 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: very similar, and I think it's like eighty five percent 314 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: chicken breast as well, you know. So I think that 315 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: the message for listeners is there's no need to feel 316 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: guilty about pre made salads, there's no need to feel 317 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: guilty about frozen veggies. You don't need to feel guilty 318 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: about a lot of those pre marinated meats. Because take 319 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: a load off, because the important thing is getting your protein, 320 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: your fresh veggies. 321 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: And salad in the bulk, and then some good quality carbs. Again, 322 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: coals have got these amazing potatoes that are already dice 323 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: for five dollars. Like by the time you buy potatoes 324 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: now ya, and you're spending that fresh food is so expensive. 325 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: So I just think it's it's about not feeling guilty 326 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: about doing the best that you can. If you do 327 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: have an interesting meal prep just think time. 328 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: Is our greatest asset, so you better, as you describe, 329 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: to do one more significant meal like a lasagna or 330 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: a pasta bake or something. But please don't feel guilty 331 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: about using prey made sauces, marinades, marinated meats, etc. There 332 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: are loads of options, and that if. 333 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: You know anyone who's traveled in Europe, you know, for 334 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: the last ten even twenty years, Marks and Spencer in 335 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: the UK have had so many of these ready to 336 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: go meals for so long, whereas we're just coming to 337 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: the party. But there's I just find a little bit 338 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: of a moralistic superiority that comes when people think that 339 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: you're superior to make your own and in many cases 340 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: that's not the case, and of course in our own 341 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: content we offer more point towards quick and easy options 342 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: that do tick the box nutritionally, so look out for 343 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: that on social media and of course our updated product 344 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: guide which came out late last year.

It's 347 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: at the nutritioncouch dot com. But yeah, I just wanted 348 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: to get rid of that idea that you're a better 349 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: person because you make everything from scratch. It's more of 350 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: a personal choice how you eat, and you can certainly 351 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: eat very very well without doing yoursel. Yeah, I agree, 352 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: And we're both busy women, and you know we use 353 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: these options all the time. If you ever follow Susie 354 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: and I on Instagram, we put on our stories all 355 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: the time. Like, I think I've got a whole generation 356 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 2: of women hooked on potato gems, where before that they 357 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: were so fearful of eating it because there was a 358 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: tiny bit of vegetable oil in with their potato. But 359 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: I'm like, if it makes it taste good and it's convenient, 360 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: and it goes in the air for I for twelve 361 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: minutes and it's done, Like why aren't we using some 362 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: of these more convenient options. But I will just wrap 363 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: up the meal prep segment with one other quick tip 364 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: that I had is most of the foods that I 365 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: make and I get a lot of comments on Instagram 366 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: like how long does that last? Like isn't doesn't that 367 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: go bad in two or three days? Like I get 368 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: people clients quite shocked when I say, you can boil 369 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: some eggs and they'll last up to seven days in 370 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 2: the fridge. People are quite shocked by that. Or you 371 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: can cook up, you know, a chicken or a surfry 372 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 2: or some bolonnais and that will last four or five 373 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: days stored in a proper air type container in the fridge, 374 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: you know, Like people are quite shocked by that. You 375 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: don't have to eat the same thing for five days 376 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: in a row, but a few meal prep three serves 377 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: of two different meals. You can rotate between that for 378 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: lunch and dinner. So actually knowing and doing your research 379 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 2: around how long some of these foods last. Like a 380 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: lot of cooked rice and grains can last four to 381 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: five days in the fridge, have stored correctly. Same deal 382 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: with roasted veggies, sauces, and dressing can last up to 383 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: seven days if you've made it. So if you've made 384 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: a dressing for a lovely dinner and you didn't use 385 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: it all, put it into a little glass jar and 386 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: that can last in the fridge for you know, up 387 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: to a week as well. And then the last thing 388 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 2: I'll say is if I do do a big batch 389 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: cook like last weekend, for example, I made ten portions 390 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: of red Tai curry meatballs with brown rice and veggies. 391 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna eat ten portions of that. That'll take 392 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: me forever, and I just get bored after three days 393 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: of eating the same thing. So I froze half of 394 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 2: that as well. But if you are freezing, really ensure 395 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 2: that you freeze in single serves. Do not freeze like 396 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 2: bulk rice and bulk meatballs because it's really hard to 397 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: separate as well, So freeze in single serves. Or another 398 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 2: really good hack is if you want to freeze it 399 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 2: in like SnapLock bags, you can flat freeze it so 400 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: you can put all the rice and flat freeze it 401 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 2: and it stacks really nicely, or flat freeze like chicken 402 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 2: breast or just you know, broccoli and stuff. And then 403 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: it's really easy to kind of pull apart, but when 404 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: it's in a big, say box of rice, it's really 405 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 2: difficult to then defrost and not waste that if you're 406 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: just bringing it out for one meal. So that's probably 407 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 2: just my last hack. It makes weeknights faster, you can 408 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: defrost it a lot easier, and it reduces a lot 409 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: of food waste if you're freezing it in single serve portions. True. 410 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: True, And I think the other sometimes issue I have 411 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: in people meal prep in bulk is that they'll get 412 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: to the point where that like, I don't feel like 413 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: that now, and I would say, I think it's fine. 414 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: I think you've just got to have lots of options. 415 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: So for example, you want to have a quick cook 416 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: fish option or a quick cook hook glean meat patties, 417 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: so that if you get home and you don't feel 418 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: like it, you've got to back up as well. 419 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: It's just about options, because I think. 420 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: You do sometimes run into that, oh, I don't want 421 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: to eat that by the fourth day, So you're right, 422 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: you better sometimes to freeze it if you're someone who 423 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: needs variety, but then always keep a different option, whether 424 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: it's a frozen meal or a fresh meal just ready 425 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: to go, or a couple of a few eggs with 426 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: some cottage cheese and veggies. 427 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 2: You know, just thinking. 428 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: Remember a key part of eating well and eating soulfully 429 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: is thinking, actually, also what do I feel like eating? 430 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: Otherwise you tend to overeat, so that it's about just 431 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: to me having different options and sort of looking in 432 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: the freezer and thinking, actually, what do I feel like 433 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: to avoid then over indulging in takeaway, which leads me 434 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: to the segment I want to talk about land, which 435 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: is fries, chips, crop chips. 436 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 2: One of my favorite things in the whole world, let's 437 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 2: go true, and I think it's particularly the I think 438 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 2: all of us because no matter where you go, whether 439 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 2: it's to a pub with friends, a bar for drinks 440 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: with the girls, out with kids, in particular picking up 441 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: a fast food meal, the amount of fries we consume 442 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: is beyond and I do have some issues with it 443 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 2: because it's ultimately refined process carbohydrate and generally speaking it's 444 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: cooked in pretty poor quality oil. So whilst you know, 445 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 2: seed oils individually are not a problem in terms of 446 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: it's the style in which we eat them, and of 447 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 2: course in fast food restaurants, in takeaway situations, they're frying 448 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: in oil so that it's not great for us. So 449 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 2: it's introducing those sort of Omega six fats to the diet. So, 450 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: first of all, I wanted to ask you a little quizlyan, 451 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: how many fries that start with shoe strings? Shoe strings 452 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: is a serf. I would probably say about ten to 453 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: fifteen for the really skinny ones, and if you're talking 454 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 2: about the thicker ones, maybe about six to eight. It's 455 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 2: not a lot, very very good. I just looked it up, 456 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: so about twelve to fifteen fries is about eighty five grams, 457 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 2: which is kind of a serve, sort of starshy carbohydrate, 458 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 2: and then a fat chip is about six to eight 459 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 2: That sort of roughly eighty on hundred calories. Now, I 460 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: would how many do we reestimate that we eat? One hundred? 461 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: A lot of far far more than that. Whenever I 462 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 2: have this discussion on portion sizes with clients, they are 463 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: shocked shocked. So yeah, we eat far more than that. Now. 464 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: First of all, no judgment, Leanne and I love a 465 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: good chip as much as the rest of us. But 466 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: I do notice, particularly with kids, they slip in on 467 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 2: more days than not because you might be having them 468 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: out at a restaurant and then the kids have got 469 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: an event and then they say bear, or you pick 470 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: them up a meal on the way home, and it 471 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: can be going in three, four, five times a week. 472 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 2: So I just wanted to have a little chat around 473 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 2: it because to me, it is one of the foods 474 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: that is good to be mindful of. And how many 475 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: you have because psychologically what we think to ourselves is, oh, 476 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 2: it's just a couple, which if it was just a 477 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: couple once a week, but it's not. It's just a. 478 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: Couple many days of the week, plus the extras, you know, 479 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: plus the time when you're actually eating out. So I 480 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: think if you are asking me how often should you 481 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: eat fries, I would say once a week. That would 482 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: be my blanket kind of statement on it. I would say, 483 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: in general, the less the better. They're not a nutrient 484 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: rich food. They're high fat, they're easy to over consume 485 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: if you're buying them from a fast food restaurant, and 486 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: incredibly salty. They're adding not good fat to the diet. 487 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: So if I was being completely honest, the less you 488 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: have it than the better. As a maximum, I would 489 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: say once a week, probably if you love them, if 490 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: you enjoy a takeaway meal. I'm not talking about ones 491 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: you do at home. I'm talking about fried ones you 492 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: get away from the house. So what I want people 493 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: to think about just moving into this new year, particularly 494 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: if you do have children and you find yourself at 495 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: kids parties, at events where they're often served, and you're 496 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: having a few here and there, I think you've got 497 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: to put a line in sand about how often they go. 498 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: And you've gotta be quite stripped because they really are 499 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: a food that we mindlessly munch. It's like having a 500 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: block of chocolate or Cabri favorites in the house. You're 501 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: having a few every day, and before you know it, 502 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: you know they're adding up to one hundred two hundred 503 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: extra calories in one sitting, three or four times a week. 504 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: And if you've got a goal of fat loss, well 505 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: that's your weight loss right there. It's not the same 506 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,239 Speaker 1: as potato. It's not the same as potatoes you make 507 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: at home. It's not the same. Even if you have 508 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: a few gems on your plate of once you've bought it, 509 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: colds or woollies, it's completely different. 510 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: They're deep fried. They're not good for us, they're easier 511 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: to over consume, and generally speaking, the less that you 512 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 2: have the better, and the less you buy and exposed 513 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 2: to the better because if they're there, you eat them. 514 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: One thing I try and do if I am eating 515 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 2: out is that if there is even going to a pub, 516 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: I'll actually ask for salad or badges to replace it. 517 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 2: If they come anyway all the kids have got them, 518 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: I'll try and take the bulk off my plate and 519 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: just leave a few so they're not near me, because 520 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 2: the tree is like many foods. They ad they're amazing 521 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 2: when they're piping hot, but if they're a bit cold 522 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: and soggy, they're actually not very nice at all. So 523 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 2: I'll try and get them off the plate as much 524 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: as i can away from you, because the biggest predictor 525 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 2: of consumption is availability. If they're there, will lunch on them. 526 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: But I think, just you know, if you're someone who 527 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 2: does find yourself having a few fast food meals or 528 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 2: picking stuff up with the kids, or celebrating or eating 529 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: out a lot, I would put a light in the 530 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: sand and say, this year, I'm really going to work on, 531 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: you know, keeping If I'm enjoying chips occasionally once a week, 532 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 2: once a fortnight, rather than letting them slip into the 533 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: diet multiple times a week and using the kids and others. 534 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: This is an excuse for eating them. Yeah, it's a 535 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 2: very fair point. And I think that if you're not 536 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: restricting at home, like if you're allowing yourself to actually 537 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 2: eat potato, because I still think, even in twenty twenty six, 538 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: is this mindset that potato is still bad for you. 539 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: Like I write potato and fries regularly homemade into my 540 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: client meal plants, and often they're shocked. They're like, oh, no, 541 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 2: I don't eat any carp for dinner, or no, I 542 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 2: can't eat that, I'll gain weight. I'm like, a little 543 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 2: bit of potato won't automatically get gain weight if it's 544 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 2: calorie controlled, if it's part of your diet, if it's 545 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 2: actually in there, it stops you wanting to then go 546 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 2: binge on the fries at the pub. Like I, you know, 547 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 2: don't really eat them out that much either, because I 548 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: regularly will have some potato gems or some French fries 549 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 2: or something that I'll make in the air fry at home. Therefore, 550 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: I'm regularly feeling satisfied from having that food. Therefore, they 551 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 2: don't appeal to me anywhere near as much as they 552 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: used to if I, you know, say, would restrict them. 553 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: And I have one rule for my clients. I'm like, 554 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: if you're gonna eat them out, make sure they're amazing, 555 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 2: like one of my favorite types of fries. If they're not, 556 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: be about it. It's the grilled ones, Like I love 557 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 2: the grilled ones with the salt and the rosemary. They're 558 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 2: so delicious. But I say to clients, if they're yellow, 559 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: it's a hard no. And we all know what I'm 560 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: talking about. Those yellow like fish and chip like fries 561 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: should not be yellow. They're just discussing. The quality is gross. 562 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 2: They're not good. They're fried in awful oil and they're 563 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: just covered in chicken salt. So if your fries are yellow, 564 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 2: that's where you should probably draw a line in the sand. 565 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 2: But if they're a bit better quality, they're beautiful, they're hot, 566 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 2: they beer batter, they've got the salt and the rosemary 567 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: or a bit of truffle oil on them. Of course, 568 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: go ahead indulgement and make sure they're good quality. Don't 569 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 2: just eat fries for the sake of eating fries. Because 570 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: the majority of fries out there are pretty gross. Like 571 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 2: you eat one or two and they're okay, and then 572 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: you get halfway in and you think, oh, I just 573 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 2: feel a bit sick. These aren't very nice. So my 574 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: hard and fast rule is if they're yellow, it's a 575 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: no go. If they're beautiful, if they're covered in rosemary, salt, 576 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 2: truffle oil, of course, absolutely enjoy savor it and try 577 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: to share with someone if you can, because that's always 578 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: a good thing for portion control. But I think my 579 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: number one hack with fries is make the meself and 580 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 2: home and put them in the air fry. I put 581 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: a bit of salt and rosemary on them, and they 582 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: go a really, really long way in terms of satisfy 583 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: cravings and really just keeping you on track long term 584 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 2: because you don't feel like you need to over indulge 585 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: in them every single time you go out because you're 586 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: enjoying them regularly at home. Beautiful Okay, And that's from 587 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 2: a fry lover land Ward. You heard it here first, 588 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 2: all right. I found a new quick and easy fish 589 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 2: in the supermarket, and I lack it a lot. 590 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm very happy with calls at the moment.

Whitefish in particular is relatively low. 614 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: But the benefit of this product it's got the skin 615 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: on which is very significant. Amount of the Mega threes 616 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: are now we took about salmon in a Mega threes, 617 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: but actually Barra mundi is quite a rich source compared 618 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: to all the other white fish. 619 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 2: To get a little bit of fat in it. It does 620 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 2: have close to twenty grams per serve, but I'm not 621 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 2: worried about that leon of course, because it's relatively low 622 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 2: and saturated. That and a decent serve of Amiga three 623 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 2: is which we love the heart health and a strains 624 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: get no when near enough of very low in carbohydrate. 625 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 2: It does have six hundred milligram of sodium, which is 626 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 2: not insignificant. It does come from Sri Lanka. That is 627 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 2: the issue with frozen fish. It will be imported. 628 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: We don't have the supply of these fish in Australia, 629 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: particularly even for freezing. 630 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: Most of the frozen. 631 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: Fish will be imported fish. So the ingredients barrow mounday 632 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: eighty three percent. As soon as that's over eighty for 633 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: a product with a marinade, we're pretty happy. With it 634 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: fifteen percent lemon herp glades, which is some fire oil, 635 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: corola oil, water, salt and mulsifier, vinegar, natural flavors, vitamin's 636 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: A and D E interesting dried herbs, one percent, some 637 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: salt garlet pat of ease. So pretty clean now for 638 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: all my seed oil haters, Yes, it does have some 639 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: seed oil in the marinade. The benefit if you make 640 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: your own barrel mundy is that you could make your 641 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: marinade from extra virgin olive oil and these ingredients and 642 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: minimize the processing. Now, if you want to buy fresh 643 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: barrel mounday, which will set you back, I would say 644 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: at least fifteen dollars for two pieces, if not eighteen, 645 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: and want to go home and make your own, absolutely 646 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: go for it. Yes, you will minimize your exposure to 647 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: some of these oils. 648 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: Am I worried and a marinad fifteen percent when I'm 649 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 2: getting twenty six grams of protein? No, I'm not worried. 650 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: I like it. I like it as a product. I 651 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: think fish can be polarizing because it can be smelly. 652 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 2: You've got to get it fresh, go buy it regularly. 653 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 2: Whereas having this in the freezer means you can come home, 654 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 2: pop it in the oven with some salad veggies, have 655 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 2: dinner in twenty minutes, high protein, nutrient rich dinner. And 656 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: I have no problem with having that because I find 657 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 2: frozen fish you don't get that issue sometimes with sort 658 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: of smelling through the house. You put it in an 659 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 2: air fryer. And I love any of these options. And 660 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 2: I've actually had people have it who say it's really delicious. 661 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 2: So a big nine out of ten for me, I'm 662 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: a big fan of it. What do you think? I 663 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: think it's great, and I think it's really affordable. I 664 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 2: think on the first glance, you think, oh, six dollars 665 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: is high, but then I think I pay six dollars 666 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: for my morning coffee most days, and that is absolutely 667 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 2: an indulgence that I'm willing to keep up. But it's 668 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: pretty expensive. And we were at the beach over Christmas. 669 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: I got us fish and chips, and I asked for 670 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: three pieces of grilled barrow Monday, and the barramund he 671 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,719 Speaker 2: was fifteen dollars each. Like I paid close to one 672 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: hundred dollars for a serve of chips, a few pieces 673 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 2: of grilled barrow Monday, and two salads. Like it is 674 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: not cheap, like was it Australian? Was it fresh? Yes, 675 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 2: I'm paying for people's time to make it. I understand that. 676 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 2: But this is far better than going to a fish 677 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 2: and chip shop. And when you think about it, yeah, 678 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: you don't have to do the work of making it, 679 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: but you've still gott to wait probably thirty forty minutes 680 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: for our dinner. Like being at the beach, the fish 681 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: and chip shop was right there. It was absolutely packed. 682 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: We waited forty five minutes for our lunch. And so 683 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 2: I just think, if you can get this home and 684 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: whack it in the air fry, jump in the shower, 685 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: put some potato gems in the air fry with it, 686 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 2: you can have dinner on the table in probably fifteen 687 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: minutes and then throw a bit of a salad kit 688 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: on the side with that. So is it better to 689 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 2: make it yourself? Yes, But you know, I just I 690 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: like these options. I like the options for you know, 691 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 2: busy women, busy families. I think they're great. I think 692 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 2: the price point is really nice. You know, if you're 693 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 2: not willing to eat seafood from outside of Australia, then 694 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: it's not the product for you. But it is a 695 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: good one to keep in the freezer for a lot 696 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: of busy people, just for the days that you know 697 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 2: you don't have any options and you know the choices. 698 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 2: Take away all the choices popping this in the air 699 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 2: fry with some chip bees. This is a far better 700 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 2: option for your health. And I love Barrelmundy for the 701 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 2: skin on And a quick tip, if you do it 702 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: in a really hot pan, turn the skin up, dab 703 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: it with paper tail like you want to dry it 704 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: off as much as possible, salted really really well, and 705 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: then put its skin down in a hot pan and 706 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 2: it crisps up absolutely beautiful. That's how we do our 707 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 2: salmon and our barrel mundy, and it's so delicious. And 708 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 2: I've had so many clients who don't like that kind 709 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: of fishy taste try a barrow Mundy like that with 710 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,959 Speaker 2: the crispy hot skin, and they're total converts. So if 711 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: you're not really a seafood fan, this might be one 712 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 2: to try again. But I try to pat the majority 713 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: of marinate off the skin, dried off a bit salted, 714 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 2: and then put its skin side down and the skin 715 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: will come up really, really crispy, which makes it really delicious. 716 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 2: In my opinion. You are very good at getting your 717 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 2: fish really crispy on the skin. This is a strength 718 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 2: of yours. I am not. I am not as good 719 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 2: at it as you are, but you are excellent doing that. Yeah, 720 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 2: fish and chips at my local shop twenty dollars each, 721 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: so for the four of us, eighty dollars. And I'm 722 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: just like, I can't pay eighty dollars for fish and chips, Like, 723 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: I just can't do it, like one hundred percent. The 724 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 2: cost of living crisis is real, So I hear you, 725 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 2: all right, lean A funny little segment I thought was 726 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: interesting to put in was what are the options when 727 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 2: you go through the chee you drive through? 728 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: Because again, like this goes against every grain in my body. 729 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,239 Speaker 1: But if you go to buy I'm just aware of 730 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: the cost of food, right, So if you go to buy, say, 731 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: chicken chicken for dinner to feed four, you're probably looking 732 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: at what at least ten, probably closed to fifteen dollars 733 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: to get the serve. 734 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 2: A barbecue chicken is twenty dollars now, not twenty dollars, 735 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: twelve thirteen dollars. Now, my we that's fairly enough to 736 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 2: feed four of us. 737 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: Now, my kids aren't even that big, so you know, 738 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: at least I would say for the protein component of 739 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: the meal at usually fifteen dollars is what you need 740 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: to get. 741 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: You can do it for ten, but the portions are 742 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: quite small. Then by the time you buy all your 743 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 2: veggies like you're looking at, I reckon a minimum twenty. 744 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: Probably closer to thirty dollars. Anyway, I was just looking 745 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: at fast food meals for the kids. They had their 746 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: friends over and I went down to look at macas 747 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: and for. 748 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 2: Me to feed these kids a meal of macas, it 749 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 2: was like closer to fifty dollars by the time I 750 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 2: got them all of their meals. 751 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: Because the happy meal sounds cheap until you change it. 752 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: So if you buy happy meal, I think at six dollars, 753 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: but if you want a milkshake or you want something 754 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: extra instantly, that makes it closer to ten dollars for 755 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: this tiny meal. Now, the little burgers are good for 756 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: little kids, but they don't see big kids. They want 757 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: a big burger that's like ten twelve dollars. So I 758 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, maccas is not cheap, but it used to 759 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: be cheap in our day and not now. So I 760 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: was looking at KFC, and that is not my natural 761 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: fast food. 762 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of it myself. The fried in 763 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 2: the name would give it away. I'm not the biggest fan. 764 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 2: But if a friend of mine actually works for KFC 765 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: in marketing, so she's always telling me, you know, stoozie, 766 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 2: it's fresh. 767 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: Like cooked on site, like freeze it like freeze it 768 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: afresh like it's not it's fresh cooked, it's not frozen. 769 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 2: She's always telling me the quality is really high. She's 770 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 2: in marketing, Like, what do you expect? Yeah, yeah, So 771 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 2: I was just having a look at their options and 772 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 2: you could get four burgers chicken breast burgers. Now they're fried, 773 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: but they're still like you can see the breastmeat is there? 774 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 2: Four burgers, chicken nuggets, and popcorn chicken and chio chips 775 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 2: for thirty five dollars. And I was like, I can, 776 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 2: I can completely understand now it's a dietitian why people 777 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 2: do it, because to feed, you know, four family members 778 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,479 Speaker 2: for thirty five dollars with no drama a food they 779 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 2: love is actually not too bad. So first of all, 780 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 2: let's preface it by saying fast food is not good 781 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 2: for you. We do not recommend it. We're trying. This 782 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: is going to go on the daily mail. Susie, you 783 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 2: need to be very careful. But I think it's if 784 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 2: you're out on road trips, if you with the kids 785 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 2: like for you to go and get what sole origin 786 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: sushi top juice. You're spending thirty forty bucks on snacks. 787 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: So I understand why busy parents in particular buy this 788 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: food for kids and also teenagers. They eat it, they 789 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: want it. It's quick and easy like nasai and asie 790 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: the or the Yochi twenty bucks. It cost me forty 791 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 1: dollars for the kids to have. It wasn't even nope. 792 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: So I thought it was actually a little bit fun 793 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: just to talk about. If you do you find yourself 794 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: in these situations where you need or want to get 795 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: something that's cost effective. 796 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 2: What would you order? And I've written these articles and 797 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 2: they always do well. People are interested. 798 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: If I go to Hungry Jackson or Sydney and here 799 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: Ilub it is packed every lunch time and it doesn't 800 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 1: surprise me because it's cheap. You can get a lunch 801 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: for ten dollars versus twenty for a sandwich. I understand it. 802 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,439 Speaker 2: First of all. I'd say if I'm picking fast food 803 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 2: or food on the go. We we the Royal, we 804 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 2: like Subway. I like Subway because. 805 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: It's four hundred calories nine dollars for a sum. I 806 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: can get whole grain, I can get salad. The biggest 807 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: issue looking at these products in fast food restaurants is 808 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: they lack the salad and vegetable bulk. They have none. 809 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: It's very light on, like, you really can't get anything 810 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: at McDonald's. So if I was choosing stuff and saying 811 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 1: it's slightly nutritionally better, there's not many choices, let's be honest. 812 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: But if you had to pick something up on the glow, 813 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: the chickens, the grilled chicken snack wraf at McDonald's is 814 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: relatively low calorie. It's a couple of hundred. No, it's 815 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: not whole grain. If you get no mayo, it significantly 816 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: reduces the fat content. 817 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 2: Or even I myself are like a junior Burger, the 818 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 2: good old plain burger. It's just bread. It's like two 819 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 2: hundred calories. 820 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: It's not too bad if you can skip the chips. 821 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 1: But really at macas, there's not a lot of options 822 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: that are great. 823 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 2: If you go to. 824 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: KFC, you can get a salad so you can get 825 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: a little salad bucket that's got some chicken. It is fried, 826 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: but chicken in it. That's actually not too bad. I 827 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 1: think it's around ten dollars as well, So I would 828 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: say if you had to get a burger, you're out 829 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: with the kid, everyone's hungry, you don't want to spend 830 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: fifty bucks. The plain chicken Philip Burger, and if you 831 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: can say it with no mayo, it's actually not too bad. 832 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: And then it macas the plain grilled option. As soon 833 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 2: as you go to meal deals fried chicken it's just 834 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 2: you know, a eight hundred one thousand calories for a meal, 835 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 2: like it's just loaded fat, salt calories. It's the chips. 836 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 2: But if you're just trying to grab something to get 837 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 2: you through, they're my sort of three best picks. So 838 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 2: plain kind of junior or cheeseburger, the grilled chicken snack 839 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 2: raps aren't too bad, and definitely for a plane more 840 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 2: filling burger, the plain chicken KFC Philip Burger is one 841 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 2: of the lowest in fat, and if you can say 842 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 2: no mayo, it's even better because a lot of the 843 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 2: fat and calories come from that and there is a 844 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 2: little salad you can get KFC, which is like the 845 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 2: chicken in the salad box, whereas Maca's salad is pulling 846 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 2: like you can't eat it. It's like some dried lettuce 847 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 2: and tomato for like six dollars, like you'd be enough. So, yeah, 848 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 2: that's just a few little things, because I think it's 849 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 2: some people's minds, like we are out driving, we do 850 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:57,720 Speaker 2: need to get things. 851 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: What are the best options? I think Also AFC have 852 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: got their little slider, which is quite small bit of chicken, 853 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: bit of salad. The bread's white, but again, you're going 854 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: to be better to have that than fried chicken or 855 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: a meal deal when the calories just blow out. Nelliean's 856 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: loo keeping melfe on an alien because she's never been 857 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: to McDonald's. But let me tell you it will happen 858 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: to you too. In about five years, it will. 859 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 2: And I will admit I have small children. My kids 860 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 2: are just four and two and a half and they 861 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 2: don't know what macas is. They will drive past with 862 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 2: me he goes, that's em. That says Mia, because we 863 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 2: were teaching her to write her name, and I'm like, yeah, 864 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 2: that does say me, a darling. Well, done, and I'm 865 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 2: not keep driving, so they don't know what Mexico gavec IS. 866 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 2: So I'm certainly not going to take them there until 867 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 2: they get to school and they start asking for it. 868 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, I personally don't go there. But I had 869 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 2: a client get a KFC just she lives Rually. They 870 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 2: had this big road trip and about halfway she's like, look, 871 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,240 Speaker 2: there's this big trucks up. The only thing there's KFC. 872 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 2: What can I get? And we worked out that a 873 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 2: couple of pieces of the original recipe chicken plus a 874 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 2: side of a coal law without the dressing was one 875 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 2: of the best options for her. It was a lot 876 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 2: higher in protein then the nuggets or the popcorn chicken. 877 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 2: She got this satisfaction from yes, it's still fried, but 878 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 2: it's good protein. It was like breast in it. And 879 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 2: then she had the call sauce, so she's like it 880 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 2: was crunchy. She used a lead little bit of the dressing, 881 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 2: she didn't drought it in it, and she's like, I 882 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: was really satisfied, and that kept me going for another 883 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 2: couple of hours because it had some fat, it had 884 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,720 Speaker 2: some protein, it had some fiber, So I'm not against 885 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 2: it if the options are, like, you know, you're on 886 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 2: a busy road trip, it's ten o'clock at night and 887 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 2: everything else is shut. No problem. But I personally don't 888 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 2: eat that because I don't find it filling. I eat takeaway, 889 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 2: but I don't go to these sort of places because 890 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 2: I personally don't find it filling. If I want a burger, 891 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 2: I'm a thousand percent going to Grilled. Not sponsored by Grilled. 892 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 2: Would love to be absolutely love them. Everybody knows, it's 893 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 2: all my stories all the time. We probably get grilled 894 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,919 Speaker 2: a couple of times a month because I just find 895 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 2: the quality of the ingredients better. The protein content's high, 896 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 2: and I'm full, like I have a Girl burger and 897 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 2: I'm full compared to I have a Macis burger. I'd 898 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 2: be hungry in an hour, I honestly would, and so 899 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: it's not my thing, but I do appreciate that sometimes, 900 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 2: particularly late at night, it's one of the only, you know, 901 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 2: places open. So there are some better options, and I 902 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 2: think with MACS, the grilled chicken burger is probably one 903 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 2: of the better options as well, because I think you 904 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 2: really need to get a bit of protein if you 905 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 2: go into these places, and the protein's not high enough. 906 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 2: You will be hungry in an hour or so, because unfortunately, 907 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 2: a tiny cheeseburger and a small fries might feel satisfying, 908 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 2: but it's not going to tie you over for three 909 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,919 Speaker 2: or four hours like a balanced meal would. You would 910 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 2: absolutely be hungry in an hour or two. I think 911 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 2: most people would be hungry in an hour or two. Yeah, 912 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. That's one of my biggest issues with 913 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 2: these foods. They're not filling. 914 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: And so if I'm on a road chip hop, I 915 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: take racks, you know, and I try, and so I 916 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: agree a one hundred percent, But I'll just give you 917 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: a couple of other numbers for reference. So the KFC 918 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: Supercharged Slider has got two hundred and fifty four calories, 919 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: twelve grams of fat, five hundred milligrams of sodium, So yeah, 920 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: it's it's certainly not healthy. But the Tender's Ranch bowl 921 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: is four hundred and twenty seven calories just set of 922 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: similar to a meal, twenty six grams of fat, so 923 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 1: that's coming from the skin on that chicken that's fried, 924 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: almost nine hundred milligrams of sodium. So you do get 925 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: some salad, but you also get a whack of the 926 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,240 Speaker 1: other stuff probably if if and I guess if you're traveling, 927 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: you can't do this, but I'd be more likely to 928 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: add tenders to like a salad bag and just put 929 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: the tenders through it. 930 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 2: That can work quite well if you're traveling. But let 931 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 2: me just have a little look at the machas options. 932 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 2: If you just bear with you one sec, I'd just 933 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 2: read you some of the best in terms of fat 934 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 2: and calories. So the actual burger that solace in calories 935 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 2: is a filid of fish, which is three hundred and 936 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 2: thirty calories. I don't like it. 937 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: Because it's deep fried and there's no other salad or 938 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: bedge on it, whereas the plane hamburger's two hundred and 939 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: fifty calories, so quite a bit lower, and it's quite small. 940 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: And then the mic chicken, which is again plain, has 941 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: got eighteen grams of protein four fifty calories. But if 942 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: you can get rid of the mayo, that does help 943 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: on those. But you know, very clear as bad as 944 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: each other, is there one I prefer not? 945 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 2: Really. 946 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: The best way I would think to describe it is 947 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: you're choosing the best of a bad bunch, and that's 948 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: just a reference. If you did have to grab something. 949 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 1: There are a couple of lighter options, but if you 950 00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: can pack your own wraps or at least your own 951 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: veggie sticks or salad to team with it, I'm going 952 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: to be kept fuller and by far in away, something 953 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: like a subway is a million times better, or even 954 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: actually the Mexican so you can now get on the 955 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: road trip. Someone's got the Mexican and I'd get like 956 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: a naked Brito Brolino rice and you get some protein 957 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: and some veggue. So they're growing in popularity around so 958 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: insane with Eljana, which is again just had a global 959 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: buyout and is often regional drive through. 960 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 2: Algano is incredibly high in calories, so it's hard to 961 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 2: get something healthy there because you're getting the bread, the garlic, sauce, 962 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 2: the chips. There's not much salad really, so don't kid 963 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 2: yourself to think it's healthy. But if you can sort 964 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 2: of pull off the chicken breast and team it with 965 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 2: the salad, that's going to be your best option al really, 966 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 2: and when that brings us to the end of the 967 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 2: nutrition couch, please keep telling your friends about us now. 968 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 2: If you need some guidance on products, check out our website, 969 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 2: the Nutrition Couch, we've got our product guide and for 970 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 2: any parents returning to school, we've got our very comprehensive 971 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 2: children's Nutrition Guide which has information on kids of all ages, 972 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 2: what they should eat, packing lunch boxes, snap food and 973 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 2: for that recommendation.
