Six tips for selecting your ready meals

Posted by We Feed You Author on

1. Choose Ready Meals with Variety

Opt for meals that incorporate a diverse array of ingredients. A colorful and varied diet ensures you receive a broad spectrum of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, all vital for overall health. For instance, our Thai Green Curry combines edamame, brown rice, red capsicum, green beans, carrot, kale, and a blend of herbs and spices, offering a rich mix of flavours and nutrients.

Especially for those with dietary needs, incorporating diversity within the dietary boundaries can enhance the enjoyment of meals and prevent dietary monotony. When meals are varied, it’s can make it easier to stick to healthy eating habits, as the flavours and textures keep things interesting. This approach also contributes to a positive relationship with food, making mealtime a more enjoyable experience that nourishes both the body and mind.

2. Incorporate Vegetarian or Vegan Options

Including plant-based meals can boost your intake of fibre, vitamins, and minerals while reducing saturated fat and cholesterol. This dietary shift may lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Additionally, plant-based diets support digestive health and contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing your carbon footprint.

3. Select Appropriate Portion Sizes

Be mindful of portion sizes to align with your hunger cues and nutritional needs. Consuming portions that are too small may leave you unsatisfied, potentially leading to unhealthy snacking. Conversely, overly large portions can result in overeating. Our meals are designed to provide satisfying portions that promote satiety and support a balanced diet.

4. Opt for Healthier Alternatives to Takeout

Ready meals can be a healthier alternative to traditional takeout, often lower in unhealthy fats, sugars, and sodium. For example, our Beef Rendang and Butter Chicken Curry offer the indulgence of takeout favourites with better nutritional profiles, helping you maintain dietary goals without sacrificing flavour

5. Enjoy Treat Foods in Moderation

Including occasional treats can enhance dietary satisfaction and prevent feelings of deprivation. Mindful consumption of sweet or savory snacks, such as our gluten-free brownies, can fit into a healthy diet without undermining nutritional objectives. The key is moderation and thoughtful inclusion.

6. Consider Environmentally Friendly Packaging

Choose products with sustainable packaging to minimize environmental impact. Our pressed paperboard trays are designed to be recyclable and have better environmental credentials compared to common plastic trays, even if they end up in landfill.
