Sainsbury's Be Good To Yourself

Sainsbury's have their own healthier range of products called Be Good To Yourself just like Tesco's version the products are across the whole range of groceries and they give you some nice choices. I'm going to list a few of the ones I've used:

• Braised Beef & Mash each pack contains 311 calories and it's a decent tasting meal which is also quite filling.

• Beef Lasagne each pack contains 307 calories, this product just doesn't quite manage to deceive you into thinking that it's a normal version of the meal, it has it's own distinct taste but this is most likely because of the low fat content.

• Chicken Chow Mein at 358 calories a pack this is a good solid meal with a very good taste, this is one of my favourite ready meals in this range.

• Ham & Mushroom Tagliatelle 339 calories a pack. This is my least favourite ready meal, its bland and has a slightly odd taste and texture, the addition of peeper or spice does help but I'm not a fan.

• Prawn Biryani 294 calories a pack. This one is fantastic, it has a good taste is well spiced and is filling, I always get at least one of these if I'm in Sainsbury's.

• Potato Salad 78 calories per quarter of a pot. Like the Ham & Mushroom Tagliatelle something just doesn't taste right about this, again i think it's due to the low fat content.

• Deli Style Coleslaw  78 calories per two heaped tablespoons. This is better than the potato salad, but I must admit that I hardly ever use it as I prefer to get preprepared salads that have the sides or dressing included in their total calorie count.

• Smoked Bacon Medallions at 33 calories these are the stuff of dreams, yes you can have bacon on a weekend morning again!

• British Roast Chicken & Stuffing 31 calories per slice. They have a slightly rubbery texture but actually taste very nice. A good addition to a salad.

• Thick Cut Ham 25 calories per slice. These have a far better texture than the chicken and stuffing and are very lean indeed, but the chicken and stuffing wins out for me; just.

• Cumberland Sausage 156 calories per two sausages. Yes it's another ingredient for your weekend cooked breakfast that offers considerably less calories and fat than the "normal" versions!

• Sweet Chilli Chicken Noodles 331 calories per pack. Tastes very nice and is perfect for a change from salad for lunch at work.

• Sweet Thai Chilli Soy Snack 93 calories per 25g pack. These are very nice but it's quite hard to find a shop that stocks them and there are other alternatives that offer lower calories.

So as you can see there are plenty of choices from Sainsbury's, I've not listed everything so follow the initial link if you want to browse. There are also dessert options and hot cross buns, but I really try to steer clear of those myself as it would be easy too fool yourself into thinking you're being healthy when you are not!
