I think (anyone correct me if I am wrong haha
) that the 1/3 on EE can be either fruit or veg xIt can be fruit or veg, but I think it really should be on the same plate, so you don't overeat the other food, it would be tempting to eat a full plate of chicken and wedges if that was all on the plate, and then a big bowl of fruit, but if you had veggies on the plate with main meal you would probably not have as much ?!?! not sure I have explained that too well !!

If I'm going to have fruit as my EE one third as opposed to veg I eat the fruit before I eat the meal, that way I have already consumed my one third and am already on the way to being full so I don't over-stuff on the rest of the meal.......... does that make sense?

I'm having Chicken breast, SW chips and veg. I crumble up a chicken oxo and add some garlic salt. The rub the chicken breast in the oxo and garlic then just pop it in oven.... yummy!

I'm lazy, I leave my potato skins on! I prick them, microwave them for about 2 minutes each side (depending on size), then chop them into wedges, cubes, chips, whatever, place on a tray, spray with frylight, add some seasoning (garlic, chilli, salt & pepper, paprika, whichever) and then cook till crispy. They don't look as perfect as some peoples, but I like them

I chop my potatoes up in to chip shape and boil them for about 7 minutes so they are starting to soften but not totally soft. I drain them and blot out excess liquid on kitchen towel. I then put mine back in the pan and add some salt, put the lid on and shake them up.
Then I spread them out of a baking tray and spray with fry light and bake on quite hot oven (about gas mark 8). Mine take a good 20-25 minutes but they go crispy on the outside and they are soft and fluffy inside. Takes a bit of effort but they are lovely!

I never thought of microwaving them to soften them! That would be easier and quicker than boiling.

I did boil them once, but I prefer them with the skins on, so microwave suits me fine
Its a great idea. My kids prefer wedges to chips so can make them this way

Just remember to prick them, else they will go BOOM - been there, done that, cleaned up the mess
