GREAT WAYS YOU’VE BEEN SAVING MONEY

The best dishes appearing on our social media feed this month

The BBC Good Food Together Group is my go-to place to get food advice and tips from you, our community. I came across this question from Heather Gates and had to share:

‘Calling all those on the night shift! I’m a nurse working 12-hour shifts, from 7am to 7pm on two days, followed by two nights, then four or five days o. I’m really struggling to eat healthily when I’m working. What are your food strategies to keep yourself feeling good and well fed when you have a busy and unsocial work schedule?’

Junior doctor here! I make a weekly meal plan and shop accordingly so I have it all planned. If I’m on nights, I plan simple meals and cook them in batches so I can eat them for several shifts in a row. I prioritise lean protein and avoid eating too many simple carbs, and bring fruit and healthy snacks to keep me going. Laura Colacino

I used to eat a main meal just before I left for work, then used a food flask for soups or overnight oats. I’d also bring snacks like berries or chopped veg with hummus to snack on throughout my shift. Valerie Vile
