HEALTHY
EATING TIP:

"Reducing
saturated fat in
your diet"

Did you know that having a diet high in saturated fat can raise the level of cholesterol in your blood and over time, this can increase your risk of heart disease?

Cooking your own meals can help you reduce the amount of saturated fat you eat.

WHEN COOKING:

	Use low fat ingredients instead of full fat
	Use cornflour instead of roux to thicken sauces
	Substitute cream in sauces for alternatives such as yogurt or use half the amount mixed with skimmed milk
	Cut all visible fat off meat
	Use soya alternatives instead of meat

Cooking by numbers

Cooking by numbers is a brand new eight-week course run by Adult Basic Education in partnership with the ‘get cooking’ team.

The course offers a chance for participants to learn more about healthy eating options and have a go at cooking up some really good food. Each session provides practical opportunities to improve basic number skills with the chance for participants to achieve an SQA numeracy qualification at the end of the course

This course provides numeracy learning embedded within very practical tasks relating to cooking and healthy eating.  The curriculum is based on tasks relating to the Core Skills Numeracy curriculum.  All learners will have the opportunity to work towards achieving Core Skills Numeracy accreditation, at the appropriate level.

The main aims of the project are:

1) To engage new learners in literacies learning by providing the chance to learn practical skills and gain a qualification and

2) To enable learners to gain the skills necessary to maintain a healthy, balanced diet.
