How bad, nutritionally, are convenience meals in supermarkets?
It’s no surprise that many convenience meals are relatively high in fat and sodium (salt) compared to a home-made meal, for example. Sometimes there’s not -sight- nor -sound of a vegetable to accompany the meat and rice/pasta in these meals either. However not all ready-to-eat meals are inadequate nutritionally. The Bia Kid meals are a great example – where taste and convenience are combined with high quality ingredients, without the addition of unnecessary additives, salt or sugar. Your children are eating a good protein source for growth (chicken or premium lean mince), carbohydrate for energy (pasta, noodles etc) and fibre, vitamins and minerals for health (vegetables and tomato sauces). So if you’re tight for time or simply not around, these meals can be a great alternative to your own home-made meals and infinitely far better that the local fast food offering.
