Alternative Gear

Ingredients

Serves= 1

1 egg

2 teaspoons mayonnaise

Pinch curry powder

Grated carrot

Lettuce or salad leaves

Pepper

2 slices wholegrain bread


It’s this easy

  • Place the egg in a small pot and cover it with water. Heat the pot on a medium-high heat. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes
  • With a slotted spoon carefully remove the egg from the water and put in bowl of cold water to cool
  • Once the egg has cooled, peel the shell off
  • Mash the eggs in a bowl with a fork. Add the mayonnaise and curry powder and mix well. Add pepper to taste.
  • Spread the bread with the egg mixture, top with carrot, lettuce and the other slice of bread. Enjoy!

Tweaks

  • Cook extra eggs so you can make quick sandwiches through the week. Once cooked and cooled put the eggs in an airtight container, store in the fridge and eat within 5 days.
  • Add other sandwich fillings as you like. Fresh tomato, cucumber, beetroot or avocado are all great options.
  • If you like spicy food try adding your favourite hot sauce
  • For a lighter, tangy flavour switch mayo for Greek or natural yoghurt

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

How do I improve my diet?

If you want to improve your diet you have come to the right place. By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits. Your score is based on the frequency and variety of the foods consumed from the five major food groups mentioned above. No Money No Time can help you improve your score by providing tips, goals and suggestions. On top of this we will provide quick, cheap and healthy recipes as well as credible answers to diet hacks, myths and FAQ’s.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
