We are on a fixed budget I’ve heard it said that home cooking is cheaper than ready meals however, the problem is neither me nor my partner are into home cooking, (wouldn’t know where to begin tbh) we buy mostly ready meals for both convince, cost, and the hassle as I’m a meat eater, my partner is vegetarian

If anyone can spare the time to offer any advice, I’d be very grateful

Hi 10past6 and welcome:hello:

I can see that ready meals might be more convenient, but maybe not cheaper. I nearly always cook from scratch and you can buy fruit and veg and things like pasta and rice very cheaply and make lovely meals, tailored to your own tastes. You can always cook the meat separately but have the same basic dishes.

Think of the things you like in the ready meals, get the basic ingredients and have a go yourself. If you look back on this thread there are lots of low-fat recipes too. Good luck and don't be shy about asking us basic cooking things. I've been cooking for years but I still have disasters:eek: We are all here to help xxx

Morning gang:hello:

I feel great this morning:j. I've lost the 4lbs I had gained (told you I felt bloated:eek:) and am at least back to where I was at my lowest. As I am not on a specific plan now, I just have to be honest to myself about what I can have. I know all about calories and healthy eating and cooking and I'm using lots of SW tricks and recipes to help me.

Not expecting a loss by Thursday, but at least I feel back in control.

Welcome to all the newbies and congrats to all the losers:T and stsers:T
