Scrambled Eggs, Bacon & Baked Beans

fighterman

I eat this two or three evenings a week as a supper. Would regard it as fairly healthy, am I right? Any other alternative evening meals ? ( not a dinner)

Lose the beans and its good.

I would say keep the beans just make sure you get the ones with No Added Sugar. They are nice and handy, tasty and healthy (once there is not a tonne of extra sugar added). ~62 kcal per 100G and they keep you full for a long time.

Completely uncalled for. Attack the post, not the poster, and if you suspect trolls report them.

Banned.

I'd concider the OPs supper to be healthier than a sandwich.

As for the op
There's nothing too wrong with it, it's just lacking in veg and watch out for the ingredients in baked beans, I don't know the ingredients so I won't comment.
Maybe switch the beans for a veg

What? Eggs, very very good. Rashers, not bad. Beans, not bad. And this meal would definitely be better than a sandwich.

Can I chime in here to ask what's wrong with beans?

The reason I ask is that, similar to the OP, I would eat the above (bacon may be sub'd for sausages on occasion + wholemeal toast) several times during the week when I come in from training. Clearly I'm not very aware of the intricate nutritional benefits/issues of most things but in my head, protein + fibre = good.

Theres not much wrong with them in fairness, I thought the sauce would have a lot more sugar

The Batchelors No Added Sugar is better, just contains natural sugars from the tomatoes... http://www.batchelors.ie/beans/sugar-free-beans.asp

I found beans great for weight loss, get a lean protein source (fish, chicken etc), load of beans, lots of veg and it will fill you for a long time (~500-600kcal). Then use the rest of the can of beans with Eggs and maybe a bit of Bacon in the evening as supper. Worked a treat for me and I was never hungry. (along with decent breakfast and a healthy snack).

genuine question, would the amount of salt in the bacon (does bacon = rashers?) not be a bit high to be eating 3 times a week?

I often have this as well.

Pretty solid meal i think, keeps me full for hours and is pretty tasty.

I want this meal now.

fighterman

Thanks for replies, I wasn't taking the mick or 'trolling'.

I just wanted to see if

1) this was a healthy meal

2) what the best alternatives as a light evening meal would be.

Don't think sandwiches are particularly healthy and salads don't fill me up enough.

Could have porridge again in the evening but a bit dull to be having porridge for breakfast and supper as well.

Suggestions?

Think I will cook this up for myself tonight
Gonna use the bacon bits that I usually buy in Lidl. Thanks OP for the idea
