Eating Well

The cardio session on Sunday was well attended, with about 25 people turning up to work on their fitness. Lt Cdr Chic Stewart, our instructor, managed to catch quite a few people out with a few ‘games’ such as O’Grady says and Rats & Rabbits – you’ll have to come along next session (28th March) to find out how these are played!

While we were all recovering from the cardio workout we spent some time with our nutritionist, Barbara Parry, looking at the ‘Eatwell Plate’, discovering which foods fit into each category, and how to balance our diets to enjoy everything in moderation. The main surprises for me were that potatoes don’t count as one of our ’5 a day’ fruits & vegetables, and that, while eggs are a very good source of protein and iron, each egg yolk contains 1 teaspoon of fat.
