Cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : Use a covered kettle or pan to boil water; it's faster and it uses less energy.


A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?

Diet types

The low-cal diet

As most people know, the low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you plan to get rid of some fat, the most important step is to take in less calories than you burn up.

The calorie defined?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food type has more calories, then it will will give you more energy to use when eaten.

Low calorie food types include celery, radishes, guava, steak and burger based meals, and bamboo shoots.
