Calories

Calories are a measure of the amount of energy in food and drink. Your weight depends on the balance between how much energy you consume and how much energy you use up. If you eat or drink more than you use you can gain weight. If you don’t eat enough you can lose it.

Fat

Your body wouldn’t function without fat. Fat is an essential part of a healthy balanced diet. It provides fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. But as fat is a rich source of energy (calories), it can easily contribute to weight gain.

Saturates

On average as a nation it seems we’re consuming too much saturated fat. Eating too much can increase your cholesterol, which is a risk factor for heart disease. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Carbs

Starchy foods like bread, breakfast cereals or potatoes are a good source of carbohydrate and should make up just over a third of the food you eat. When eaten, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is used to fuel cells in your body like brain and muscle cells. Some people think starchy carbohydrates are fattening, but gram for gram it contains less than half the calories of fat. Choose whole grain or high fibre varieties where you can as they often contain more nutrients.

Protein

All cells and tissues contain protein, so it’s essential for growth, repair and good health. Protein from animal sources such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products contain all the essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein) needed by the body. If you're vegetarian or vegan, you can get the protein you need through eating a variety of different plant sources such as pulses, nuts and cereals.

Method

It is recommended that the oats are soaked beforehand as the water softens and bloats them. Put the oats in the pan and add half of the water and leave to stand for a few minutes.
Add the remaining water when ready and put the pan on a medium heat. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat and simmer for 6 minutes stirring occasionally.
Scatter the flaked almonds onto a baking sheet and place under a medium grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and set aside. Meanwhile, check the porridge. Once the porridge has reached its desired consistency, serve into bowls, top with a generous tablespoon of honey, sprinkle with some almonds and serve immediately.
