What ingredients do you always have in your fridge that you turn to when you have nothing else to eat? Something healthy preferably!

    A big bowl of spinach with 2 poached eggs and a sprinkle of Kirkland precooked bacon. I poach the eggs in a bowl of hot water in my microwave on high for 1 minute

    If I don't have much calorie allowance left, a fried egg with some fruit or veg and an oatcake. Recently got into frying a ring from the middle of a bell pepper and cracking an egg inside. I like to play with my food...

    Middling calories, some oatcakes with strong Cheddar and grapes or apple. I could eat this all day and often have it for lunch. Oatcakes are a bit calorific but one (55cal) keeps me going for ages.

    If I have plenty of calories, pasta with passata and loads of cheese!

    I do love to cook, and make quite elaborate dinners, but these are my go-to quick meals. Recently been trying to get more protein in so I'm doing the egg thing more often.

    I always have eggs, spinach and cheese in my fridge. If I need something quick, I'll cook up a bunch of spinach, then plop 3 eggs on top and cook them, flip the whole thing over and throw a slice of swiss on top.

    Spaghetti squash or zucchini julienned with marinara sauce

    Oatmeal cooked with water and a scoop of protein powder
