The King (or Queen) of Comfort Foods and a cheeky little snack

The Jacket Potato
Jacket potato has to be one of my favourite foods EVER. However, some people can really over do it and make a perfectly healthy and nutritional lunch or dinner into something incredibly unhealthy. Bean and 30g of lighter cheese has to be one of my favourite toppings but another good one is tuna and light mayonnaise, or chilli, especially made with quorn. But be careful to weigh out your toppings because it's so, so easy to go too far. 
My favourite beans are Branston rather than Heinz, but it doesn't really make a difference. This jacket potato  weighs in at 312 calories, 7.8g of fat (due to the cheese) and 4.5g of sat fat. And it's so filling and is the best food to eat after a long day of rushing about and a long shift at a restaurant;)


One of my favourite snacks at the moment are the new Snack a Jacks Crunchy Curls. They're so simple and so tasty, my fave is the cheeky chutney flavour. It's such a great snack with only 88 calories, 1.3g of fat and 0.1 of sat fat! Compared to a pack of Walkers Ready Salted which is 171 calories, 10g of fat and 1g of sat fat! And it still feels like you've just eaten a packet of crisps! Perfect for lounging on the sofa after a long dog walk.

Happy Eating
