Claire Williamson Meat Quotations

Protein contains essential amino acids necessary for growth and repair. Meat and fish can be quite expensive, but lean minced beef is reasonably priced, as are canned fish and fish fingers. Vegetarian students should make sure they eat alternative sources of protein, such as eggs, dairy products, pulses and cereals. Baked beans on toast provide you with just the right ratio of all the essential amino acids, so it's a great student snack.

The best sources are red meat and fish. Vegetarians should eat fortified cereals, dried fruit, beans and pulses.

A healthy diet is based on breads, potatoes and cereals, is rich in fruit and vegetables, and includes moderate amounts of meat or fish and limited amounts of fat or sugar. The best and freshest foods aren't always the cheapest, but students can be creative in their shopping and cooking habits.
