New Exercise and Fitness Review

Fast food that’s not bad for you? Sounds too good to be true, but it’s not a myth. We’ve found guilt-free hunger busters you can rely on when time is short

You don’t have to watch your healthy eating habits go down the drain as you reach for yet another ready meal at the end of a long day. We’ve sorted through the options to find the healthiest convenience meals and snacks to keep your body – and figure – happy. Enjoy!

Meal in minutes
Ready meals have a seriously bad rep, and rightly so. They’re usually laden with salt, trans fats and sugar. Next time you need to fuel up in a hurry, look for Kirsty’s Ready Meals – good, nutritious food without the nasties.
£2.89, Sainsbury’s

Liquid lunch
Need a healthy lunch on the go? Tideford Organics’ soups in microwaveable pots and heat-proof sleeves are low in salt and sugar and gluten-free. We highly recommend the spiced butternut flavour.
£1.99, tidefordorganics.com

Schedule saver
Upgrade your pot noodle! Unlike most, Kabuto Noodles are free from additives and preservatives and made with real egg noodles. Pimp them up with a handful of spinach leaves and some pre-cooked salmon for extra flavour.
£2.45, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, amazon.co.uk

Crunch time
Put down that sugary cereal bar! Dorset Cereals Breakfast Pots are handy, tasty and nutritious. Just add milk!
99p, dorsetcereals.co.uk

Go potty
Whether you’re craving Indian spices, a Thai kick or Caribbean flavour, Innocent Veg Pots have you sorted. Just pop in the microwave and wait for the ping!
£3.79, major supermarkets

Doctor’s order
Forget lashings of salt, sugar and artificial preservatives – natural grains, pulses, veg, herbs and spices are all you need for a healthy, tasty meal. The Food Doctor Wholesome Pots make it easy – just add boiling water and go.
£1.39, Tesco
