Tesco Everyday Value Meals

One thing I've discovered on my supermarket travels is that the Sainsbury's Basics and Tesco Everyday Value ranges offer some interesting options for low calorie ready meals and small pizzas. On the whole these products aren't too bad, I can honestly say that I don't have them on a regular basis but they're good if you fancy something a bit different...oh and they're really cheap which is also good if you're on a budget.

I'll start with Tesco because the Sainsbury's website seems to be playing up at the time of writing; so I'll make them my next post if it's fixed in time.

As usual for ready meals I only use them if they're 500 calories or less per pack, also I'll list the fat content in brackets if it's quite high.

• Spaghetti Bolognese 400g - 428 calories per pack (14g of fat).

• Sausage & Mash 400g - 400 calories per pack (16.4g of fat).

• Fishermans Pie 400g - 325 calories per pack (10.9g of fat).

• Creamy Mushroom Chicken & Rice 400g - 472 calories per pack (13.2g of fat).

• Cottage Pie 400g - 314 calories per pack.

• Cheese & Tomato Pizza 150g - 423 calories per pizza.

• 4 Cheese & Tomato Pizza (frozen) - 409 calories per pizza

• 4 Chicken & Vegetable Pies (frozen) - 295 calories per pie (14.5g of fat).

• Chicken Curry (frozen) - 465 calories per pack (11.3g of fat).

• Toad In The Hole 250g (frozen) - 469 calories per pack (15.7g of fat).

• Macaroni Cheese 400g (frozen) - 440 calories (10.3g of fat).

• Chicken Hotpot 400g (frozen) - 318 calories per pack (10.4g of fat).

• Beef Lasagne 400g (frozen) - 460 calories per pack (15.8g of fat).

• Corned Beef Hash 400g (frozen) - 345 calories per pack.

So as you can see there are plenty of options in this range but two that I'll highlight are the frozen Corned Beef Hash which is really quite nice and very low in calories and also the frozen Beef Lasagne which doesn't taste too bad at all but has a really good calorie count for a lasagne, so it's great with a salad if you fancy something that feels a bit naughty!
