It's worth doing some batch cooking and freezing single portions so that all you need to do it get one out before you go to work and then just reheat when you get home. It's great doing loads of individual meals from a big batch of mince. You could do shepherds pie, chilli, bolognaise, chilli, meatballs in tomato sauce.

Or perhaps make a huge saucepan of soup and freeze in individual portions.

HTH.

This is what I am doing, I'm going to give up some precious time to do some batch cooking to start me off, (Ragu. as a base for cottage pie/bolognese/chilli etc &soup for lunches) Then start cooking a bit extra when I do cook to freeze.
Some of my shifts are 33 hours long. (with a 9 hour sleep in)

Well spotted ColJack!!! I often fail to get my head around how some of these ready meals are 'free' but I suppose we shouldn't question it! They must know what they're talking about up at SW HQ, unless they're all high on wacky backy all day lol!!X

I can't find a Healthy Living one, but the Light Choices 400g pack chilled (the one that's on special offer this week I think) is 8.5 syns on green and EE or 10.5 on original.

The sausage & tomato pasta (the other one on offer) is only 3.5 syns on green & EE - I have one for lunch today!

WW don't do their own food. WW was started by Heinz to sell the food.

SW used to have some things like tuna and I heard some time ago that they were looking at doing ready meals and did a trial on them but nothing came of it. I guess with all the competition around it's just not viable

It's difficult when I'm out in town with friends and they munching on crisps and chocolate. There's nothing really I can buy to much on like that to just go round town with

Kellogs Fibre Plus bars are really yummy. They are one HE B and you can buy them singly or in packs. Just pop one in your bag before you go out and when they buy chocolate get your bar out!
