Light Bites

Light Bites – ideal for a quick lunch or light supper to share

The modern definitions of lunch and dinner are shifting as most of us consider our evening meal to be the ‘main meal of the day’ and lunch a quick bite as we go about our daily lives. As such the quantity of food we eat at breakfast, lunch and dinner has shifted which can sometimes be in contrast to our energy needs. Remember the saying “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” In an ideal world we would prioritise lunch over dinner as our energy requirements are less in the evening, before going to sleep. These light bites are meals which are easily shared and can be used for lunch or evening meal as preferred.
