STARTING AT UNIVERSITYStarting a new life at university may mean you are looking after your health and wellbeing for the first time. Whilst being a student there are many demands on your finances, and combining living on a budget with eating healthily may seem a real challenge.

Eating healthily is as much about when you eat as what you eat. Making sure you eat breakfast to kick start your metabolism can help to improve concentration when studying and attending lectures. Not leaving too long between meals can help you make healthier choices, rather than grabbing the first thing available when you are really hungry.

Generally speaking, some of cheaper food products you can buy are high in fat and sugar, which will give you a short-term energy boost, but hunger will soon be back. With this in mind, it is better to eat foods such as fruit, vegetables and whole-grains including brown bread, rice and pasta. These will make you feel full for longer and slowly release energy for several hours after eating. These foods are also packed with vitamins and minerals that build up your immune system and help to keep you in peak condition throughout the year, keeping our diet in balance. Planning meals ahead of time and buying a variety of cheaper but healthy options can help keep your food costs low.

This booklet is designed to offer a broad introduction to the areas covered. For further reading and information see the Useful Links on page 14.

THE EATWELL PLATEUse the eatwell plate to help you get the balance right. It shows how much of you should eat from each food group.

Fruit and vegetables

Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta

and other starchy foods

Milk and dairy foods

Foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar

Meat, fish, eggs, beans

and other non-dairy sources of protein

DO YOU EAT THE RIGHT MIX?You should focus on reducing the amount of salt, sugar and fat consumed in a day, eating them occasionally rather than with every meal.

Two thirds of our plates should consist of fruit, vegetables and complex carbohydrates such as rice, pasta and potatoes. Brown or whole grain varieties are the best carbohydrates as they contain more fibre and nutrients.

The protein element of our daily food is very important, especially for vegetarians. Protein is likely to be the most expensive part of your shopping basket. Interestingly, we often eat more protein than our bodies require for growth, repair and maintenance, and the remainder becomes a costly form of energy. The recommended serving size for meat and fish is approximately the size of a pack of cards. Limiting the portion size of protein means more of your shopping budget can be spent on fruit and vegetables.

Vegetarians can achieve a healthy balance by choosing a variety of vegetable proteins. Individually the majority of vegetable proteins do not contain all the essential body building nutrients, but by mixing and matching protein sources, a healthy diet can be achieved. For example bread and baked beans together provide a full complement of essential proteins. There are also some vegetable products such as tofu from soya and Quorn which already have the full quota of first class proteins.

GOOD FOOD ON A BUDGETVegetable proteins in the form of beans, lentils and pulses are a cheap way of

making your protein go further - by adding them to meat

dishes or replacing meat altogether.

HEALTHY OPTIONS AND COOKING TECHNIQUESOne of the quickest ways to blow your food budget is to live off takeaways. Learning to cook might seem like a challenge but taking the opportunity to cook for oneself can be cheaper and better nutritionally than buying takeaways and processed meals.

This can also reduce the amount of fat, salt and sugar, and increase the levels of vitamins and minerals in your diet.

Getting together with some friends, will make preparing food fun and will help share the cost of meals. This also means you can buy in bulk and divide up the items. Large bags of pasta, rice and potatoes can prove to be very inexpensive. Use the ‘BOGOF’ (buy one get one free) offers and split them with a friend.

If you are a novice in the kitchen, it may be worthwhile investing in a cookery

book. You can often pick up cheap, good quality second hand books in charity shops. There are many instructional demonstrations online now; see Useful Links on page 14.

Instead of.... Try a choice of....

Saturated fat such as lard, palm oil, ghee or butter

Mono-unsaturated oils such as olive oil and rape seed oil (sold as vegetable oil) and margarines (avoiding any containing hydrogenated and trans fats)

Full fat milk or cream in drinks Semi skimmed or skimmed milk

Frying foods Grilled, steamed or baked

Fatty meats (sausages, streaky bacon), skin on poultry, fried fish

Lean meat, skinless poultry, drain fat off meat after browning. Bake, grill, roast or poach meat or fish, serve with low fat sauces. Back bacon

Glazing vegetables with butter Serve freshly cooked without fat

Heavily salting food Use herbs, spices and citrus juice to flavour food. Either use salt in cooking or at the table but avoid both

Refined starchy foods such as white rice, pasta, peeled potatoes, white bread, sugary and refined breakfast cereals

Unrefined starchy foods such as wholegrain cereals, wholegrain, rye and granary breads brown and wild rice, wholemeal pasta

Just garnishing food with a little salad or a slice of tomato

Aim for five portions (80g) of fruit and vegetables a day with as much variety in colour as possible - this maximises the vitamin and mineral content

Fried potatoes, potatoes cooked in cream or oil, or served with sour cream

Boiled or baked potatoes, mashed with milk instead of cream (or lower fat spread). Homemade oven chips- potatoes cut up and boiled in water for 3-4 minutes, drain and place on a baking tray, spray with vegetable oil and bake at 200ºc for 20 mins or until golden

Cream cakes and sugary desserts

Fruit based desserts and natural sweeteners like honey. Stevia, a natural sweetener newly approved for use in this country

Cake or biscuits Currant bun or malt loaf with lower-fat spread

Croissant with butter Toasted bagel with low-fat soft cheese

Creamy or cheesy sauce Tomato or vegetable sauce

Butter on bread Lower-fat spread on bread

Cream Reduced-fat Greek yoghurt

Ice cream Frozen low-fat yoghurt

Coleslaw, potato salad and similar

Salad without dressing or use of low fat alternatives. Mixed vegetables with a little olive oil. Use yogurt instead of mayonnaise

SHOPPINGDon’t just go to the nearest convenience shop - they are generally more expensive than bigger supermarkets.

The university’s money website will help you find local shops: www.brighton.ac.uk/current-students/my-finances/ways-to-save

TIPS ` Online shopping can help you stick to a budget, check the

latest offers, but don’t impulse buy

` Multi-buy and bulk buy essentials like pasta to keep the cost down - but don’t be tempted to overload on items with short cupboard/fridge life

` Look at the price per 100g to compare different prices

` Shop after 7pm or Sunday afternoons when there may be bargains on offer on perishables e.g. bread and vegetables

` Always buy unpackaged fruit and veg – better for the purse and the environment

` Plan weekly meals to prevent throwing food away, taking into account going away at the weekends

` Make a shopping list and stick to it

` Treat with caution some enticing supermarket offers. It may seem like a bargain, but will you use it?

` Always check sell-by dates, especially for perishable goods

` Refill your water bottle at home rather than buying expensive energy drinks and wash the bottles regularly

` Never shop when you’re hungry

` Make extra portions of your main meals and freeze the rest for another day

WHAT’S IN YOUR LUNCHBOX?Bringing a packed lunch can save you serious cash compared to buying at canteens and shops. Make sure you are filling yours with healthy, brain-power boosting foods.

HEALTHY

` Wholemeal bread, pitta, bagel or wrap

` Fruit snacks will keep energy up between meals

` Water = no sugar come down!

` Low fat options: cottage cheese, lean meats and yogurts instead of hard cheese, salami and sweets/crisps

NUTRITIONAL LABELLING

Do you know what these mean?

Often these descriptions can mean whatever the manufacturer wants them to mean, and can be misleading.

If a product makes a nutritional claim, such as ‘low fat’, the product’s nutritional information must be shown. Which format depends on the health claim. For example, if a claim is made relating to the content of sugar, fibre, or sodium, the full nutritional information must be listed.

Nutritional Claim What it meansFat free Less than 0.1g of fat per 100g of foodSugar free Less than 0.2 g of sugar per 100g of foodLow fat/low sugar Less than 5g of fat/sugar per 100g of foodReduced fat/sugar 25% less fat than the original foodIncreased fibre 25% more fibre than the original foodSource of fibre More than 3 g of fibre per 100g of foodHigh fibre More than 6g of fibre per 100g of food

‘LITE’ OR ‘LIGHT’

‘UNSWEETENED’

‘HELPS MAINTAIN A HEALTHY HEART’

‘NO ADDED SUGAR’

Nutritional Claim What it meansFat free Less than 0.1g of fat per 100g of foodSugar free Less than 0.2 g of sugar per 100g of foodLow fat/low sugar Less than 5g of fat/sugar per 100g of foodReduced fat/sugar 25% less fat than the original foodIncreased fibre 25% more fibre than the original foodSource of fibre More than 3 g of fibre per 100g of foodHigh fibre More than 6g of fibre per 100g of food

The real meaning of

FAT FREEFor example: 85% fat free....

` This means it contains 15g of fat per 100g of product

` Is the portion size greater than 100g?

` A standard yogurt is 125g

‘Fat free’ does not mean low in calories - these products are often high in sugar!

Other common claimsFlavour When the name of the product contains flavour, the food does not need to contain that ingredient. For example cheese and onion crisps.

Reduced calorie The product must be at least 25% lower in calories than the original.

Fresh, pure or natural No legal definition for these – it’s up to you to decide whether it is true or not!

HEALTHY LIVINGShould I avoid eating fats altogether?

No! A general rule is unsaturated are healthier and saturated less so. The ones to avoid are Trans fats (found in hydrogenated oils, some margarines, doughnuts, cookies and cakes). Try to reduce your saturated fat intake. However as with anything, moderation is the key.

RECIPES AND IDEAS FROM OUR INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMMUNITY

Carrot and ginger soup

GRILLED SALMON IN SOY SAUCELouis Loy Seng Ye

This is a great recipe as it is easy to cook for yourself or for friends. It is delicious in flavour and simple to prepare.

You will need ` 1 salmon fillet per person, keep the skin on for

cooking. ` 100ml soya sauce (or Teryaki sauce works well

too) increase if required for more fillets

What to doWash the salmon fillet in cold water and place in a bowl. Add enough soya sauce to cover the fillet and turn occasionally. Leave to marinate in the sauce for 30 minutes in the fridge.

The fillet can either be grilled on a grill pan or baked in the oven at 180ºc for 15-20 minutes depending on the size and number of fillets being cooked.

If using a grill pan, lightly brush with oil first, heat the pan and add the salmon, skin facing down. Cook for 5 minutes then turn over and cook for a further 5 minutes. Use a small knife to check the salmon is cooked in the centre and leave a little longer if preferred.

Louis suggests serving the salmon with steamed broccoli and cauliflower or a nice mixed salad.

Keep a look out for salmon being sold off at the end of the day and freeze straight away.

Indonesian fried rice

NASI GORENGSue BurnettThis is my easy to make vegetable version of this popular Indonesian dish. The recipe also works very well with diced pork or chicken.

You will need ` A little oil for frying ` 2 eggs ` 1 pepper, any colour, de-seeded and chopped ` Baby leaf greens or shredded cabbage ` 1 chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped ` 2 spring onions, washed trimmed and chopped ` 6 chestnut mushrooms, cleaned and sliced ` Any quick cooking vegetables - a butternut squash was used in the photo ` 2 teaspoons of curry powder.

What to doHeat a frying pan with a little oil. Whisk the two eggs in a bowl. Pour into the frying pan and cook into a small pancake/omelette shape. When cooked, remove from the pan and roll into a sausage shape. Set aside.

Heat the frying pan and add a little oil. Add the vegetables (not the spring onions) and chilli and fry gently until cooked but firm, control the heat so the vegetables don’t burn. Season to taste. Sprinkle in the curry powder, stir and allow to cook through.

Stir in the cooked rice over a low heat and sprinkle with the spring onions.

Take the omelette and slice through the sausage shape. Lay the egg strips on top of the rice dish and serve.

CHICKEN AND LEEK FILO PIESue Burnett

I was thinking about pastry and wondered if there was a healthier option that was easier to work with and came up with this idea. Having done the taste test on friends and family I believe it is a winner!

What you will need ` 2 chicken breasts chopped into 2cm pieces ` 1 jar of ready-made white sauce (sometimes sold as a lasagne sauce) ` 1 leek, washed, trimmed and chopped into small pieces ` 1 onion chopped finely ` A little oil for frying (approximately a table spoon) ` Salt and pepper ` 50g butter melted ` 1 pack of filo pastry

What to doTake a 4’’ flan tin for an individual pie or a 7’’/8’’ flan tin for a family size pie (increase the ingredients for a bigger pie). Lightly grease with a little oil if not a non-stick dish. Preheat the oven to 180ºc/Gas 6.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the chicken, fry for about 5 minutes until golden, then add the onion and leek. Fry until the vegetables are soft.

Add half the jar of white sauce and mix together. Add more of the sauce if necessary to cover all the ingredients. Heat together for a few minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper if required. Take off the heat and leave while preparing the pastry.

You will need the melted butter and a pastry brush. Open the pastry and unravel the pastry. Use 3 sheets of filo for each pie. The pastry I was using was pre-cut into squares which were a perfect size for my individual tins. Separate the sheets of pastry, (if your bought pastry has excess flour, dust this off) and brush melted butter onto one sheet. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter, place another sheet on top (use 4 sheets of pastry if making a bigger pie).

Lift the pastry onto the flan dish and gently fold the edges into the centre to allow the pastry to fall into the corners of the tin. Lift the folds of pastry out and lightly press the base of the pastry onto the tin without stretching or making a hole in the base. There should be a lot of pastry hanging over the side of the tin, do not cut it off!

Take the chicken mixture and place approximately two spoonfuls into the pastry case or until there is enough filling to be level with the top of the tin.

Take the edges of the pastry and bring them together so they meet in the middle, then pinch together at the base to create a ‘scrunched’ effect (see photo).

Using the remaining melted butter, gently dab the top of the pie with butter all over as this gives it a golden colour.

Place in the centre of the oven for approximately 30 minutes and until the pastry is fully golden in colour. Remove from the tin and serve with salad or mixed vegetables or can be eaten cold.
