Microwave meals: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Microwave meals offer a convenient way to prepare a hot dish quickly. This category includes a wide variety of ready-to-heat meals, from pasta dishes and curries to soups and rice-based options. When choosing a microwave meal, it's helpful to check the nutrition label. Look at the salt content, as many ready meals can be high in salt. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises limiting salt intake. You may also wish to consider the sugar content, particularly for sauces and accompaniments. Checking the ingredients list can help you identify meals that contain whole grains or a higher proportion of vegetables. Some microwave meals are classified as high in fat, salt, or sugar (HFSS) and may be subject to certain advertising and placement restrictions in stores.
