Your Guide to What Britain Cherishes
There’s nothing tastier than a full English breakfast, a traditional roast dinner, hot fish and chips, pizza or lots of chocolate! We all love our British comfort food, but these are unhealthy options for those who need to watch their cholesterol levels. Check out these healthy tips and suggestions if you want to maintain your healthy eating, while still enjoying British food favourites.
1. Full English breakfast
The high levels of saturated fat in a standard fry-up poses problems for those watching their waistlines and managing their cholesterol levels. Start by grilling instead of frying, as this helps reduce fat content and calories. Try turkey rashers for a low-fat high-protein alternative to bacon, and choose reduced-fat sausages with lower salt content. Try scrambled or poached eggs in place of the traditional fried egg, and select wholemeal toast, rather than fried bread. Baked beans are high in cholesterol-lowering soluble fibre, but choose varieties with reduced salt and sugar, or have a go at making your own instead.
