If you want some vitamins from fruit eat some berries (preferably  strawberries, raspberries or blackberries). best buy them frozen then you can eat them with cream or plain full fat Greek style yoghurt. Corn flakes are mainly carbs as are all breakfast cereals - even most brands of Bran flakes. Milk has more carbs than you would imagine, full fat milk is better (fewer carbs) than semi-skimmed which is better than skimmed!A better choice than cereal is eggs (no bread) boiled, poached, fried or omelette such as mushroom or cheese, Lunch   Bread is mostly carbs. Meat or fish or eggs or cheese with a salad would be much better.Dinner Ready meals (nearly all of them) have lots of starchy carbs (because they are cheap). Many Ready meals also have added sugar to make them taste better.  A good alternative would be grilled or fried meat or fish with lightly boiled or stirfried veg. But avoid legumes except for french beans (i.e. in their pods) or 'mange out' peas - again in their pods.I hope this helps,Ian</blockquote>
