Myfitness pal miscalculations on food?

[AndrewP]

I don't go to big supermarkets only the local Tesco for Fage yoghurt, occasionally cooked chicken, bags of veg to microwave, muesli, fruit if the local stall has gone AWOL etc.

If I wanted a pizza I'd go to a proper pizza shop or make my own.

Asda's fresh counter pizzas are better than all the "proper pizza shops" around here, they're all shite. That says more about the pizza shops though I guess. I sometimes make my own, but sometimes I can't be fucked.

Anyway, what sort of idiot buys bags of veg to microwave!?

Me! A quid for broccoli, carrot etc. for when I don't have any leftovers to take to work. With tuna straight out of the tin!

More money than sense, you should go on that TV show about idiots who buy shite in bags because they can't use a knife.

How many cals?

When you consider that people pay £3 for a sarnie I can do veg + tuna for about £2 when the x4 packs of tuna are on offer.

Or you could buy some broccoli and carrots and chop them up and save a load. Or you can do whatever you want, like anyone else.

Eat raw? Carrots would be OK but broccoli?

How do you cook it currently?

Boiled at home. Take to work in tupperware box if any leftovers or planning.

Boil it then?

At work? We only have a microwave not a hob.

That's why I asked how your currently cook it and you said you boiled it.

You could cook it in the microwave, just like you currently do then?

I've never tried to boil stuff in the microwave! It's a bit busy in the kitchen at peak times and it's easier to hoy in a bag. Considering my expenditure is already restricted to non-fun items I see this as a small treat.

You wouldn't be boiling it, you'd be steaming it, much like you are now though. Fair enough if the plastic bag is a treat though.

I might give it a try when it's a bit quieter.

Why would it need to be quieter? You'd be cooking it in the exact same way, or are these bags of veg you buy pre-cooked?

Treat yourself to something like this, put in raw veg and microwave.

Thanks for that, I will make an investment I think.

I find that Sainburys fresh pizzas are better than Asda (the last one I had anyway)

Spicy beef, pepperoni, ham and jalapenos, it was superb

I prefer the Asda personally. I don't waste toppings on jalapenos, I'll just chuck some on at home.

It wasn't wasted mate it was added

You get 3 toppings so I added them

Also Sainsburys cook them for you if you want to eat it on the way home (I always cook it myself at hoem though)

Asda is 4 toppings on a 10" and 6 on a 12".

Asda also cook them depending on the branch. They're rolling out 16 inch pizzas fully cooked for a fiver soon, that'll be canny value.

It's the only reason I ever step foot in asda to be honest. Not that I buy them often.
