Pre-prepared meals can be a handy option — the key is knowing what to look for on the label.

Things to check:
🍗 Protein: aim >20g. This meal has chicken as the first ingredient, it is the ingredient in the largest amount— a good sign you’re getting a solid protein source.

❤️ Sodium: under 600mg per serve is ideal for supporting health health

🍚 Grains: choose meals with wholegrains like brown rice or quinoa for extra fibre and longer-lasting energy.

Most frozen meals don’t pack in enough vegetables, so adding your own on the side is an easy way to boost fibre, vitamins and minerals. A quick handful of frozen broccoli, carrots or corn makes the meal more balanced and satisfying!

🌟 Malnutrition Week 2025 🌟

Did you know that 1 in 3 people in hospital are malnourished — and many more in the community are at risk, often without realising it? Malnutrition isn’t just about eating less, it’s about not getting the right nutrition your body needs to stay strong, recover, and thrive.

👩‍⚕️ As dietitians, we can help by:
• Screening for malnutrition and identifying those at risk early
• Creating personalised nutrition care plans tailored to your needs
• Recommending practical food-first strategies (making every bite count)
• Supporting with oral nutrition supplements when needed
• Working alongside your healthcare team to optimise recovery and quality of life

✨ The good news is that with the right support, malnutrition can be prevented and treated.

If you or a loved one are worried about weight loss, poor appetite, or struggling to meet nutrition needs, book in with us today — let’s work together to keep you strong and well. 💪🍽️

Strengthening GP + Dietitian Collaboration 🤝🌟

Our director Claire Ward joined forces with Dr Catherine Crane of to talk with the amazing GPs at Colour City Medical Practice, about weight loss medications and nutrition, and how we can better support people on their health journey 🧡

Why this matters ⬇️
🔹 GPs are often the first point of call for people starting weight loss medications – they play a key role in assessing for suitability, and screening for nutritional deficiencies.
🔹 A strong care team of a GP and dietitian means individuals get the right support, from both body and mind perspectives.
🔹 True weight management is holistic – it’s not just about food or medication. Genetics, finances, social situations, mental health, and knowledge all influence health outcomes.
🔹 By educating and collaborating with GPs, we help ensure that every individual gets safe, personalised, and compassionate care.

It was such a privilege to share our knowledge and connect with local GPs, to strengthen the support available for our local community who are navigating weight loss.
