Maxitone Meal Plan Advice

This page tells you a little more about what types of food to consume, together with information around alternative options.

Wholemeal options:

Where bread, pasta or rice are part of a meal, you should ideally choose whole grain or wholemeal where possible. All bread is medium sliced.

Sauces:

Where mayonnaise or sauces are suggested, low fat options will work better.

Vegetables:

Where vegetables are mentioned, they may be steamed, stir fried, gently boiled or roasted (with a tablespoon of olive oil). Any vegetables may be used from: carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, sweetcorn, peas, onions, mange tout, bean sprouts, courgettes, swede, turnips, cabbage, beetroot, parsnip, spinach, mushrooms, aubergines, beans, asparagus, sprouts, squash, peppers.

Cooking methods:

Where no cooking methods are mentioned (for example chicken breast), you may grill, stir fry, bake, roast (with a small amount of olive oil), shallow fry.

Pre-packaged meals / sandwiches:

Where pre-packaged meals or sandwiches are suggested, you can replace with the same size of a homemade option. Just be careful to use the best quality ingredients, avoid using too much oil, mayonnaise, sauces and salt, and try not to nibble as you cook!

Breakfast cereals:

All breakfast cereals below can be interchangeable:
Shreddies (plain – not frosted or chocolate)
Bran flakes
Most muesli (those without honey or sweeteners)
Special K
Porridge

All should be eaten with skimmed or semi-skimmed milk.

You can add vegetables, such as spring onions, peppers, mushrooms, or tomatoes to omelettes or scrambled eggs.
