I'm a nutritionist - this is how to make a Sunday roast indulgent AND healthy A senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation has revealed some helpful tips READ MORE: Heston Blumenthal launches a new Sunday roast where customers have to 'reserve a potato' By ZAC CAMPBELL Published: 13:17, 7 December 2024 | Updated: 13:17, 7 December 2024 e-mail 4 View comments A heartwarming British classic that makes for the perfect comfort food, a Sunday roast is the go-to meal of choice for many during winter. While there is a constant debate to be had over which part of a roast is the best - be it the gooey cauliflower cheese, crispy potatoes with a soft centre or the satisfying crunch of a Yorkshire pudding - there is also a worry that comes with consuming these items. How can you fit all the best bits of a roast onto a plate and make it healthy? Fortunately for anyone with such a concern, Tracy Parker, senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, has revealed to The Independent some helpful tips to maintain the indulgence of a roast. Read on below for her healthiest swaps to help you enjoy the much-loved dish without having to worry about piling on the pounds. Use leaner sources of protein For anyone who favours beef or lamb as their protein of choice for a Sunday roast, opting for leaner options such as turkey and chicken can help to make a big difference. This is due to the latter's lower fat content, with a typical 140g serving of whole roasted chicken containing around 335 calories, 19 grams of total fat and 38 grams of protein. Conversely, the same quantity of roast beef contains around 25 per cent more fat per serving. For anyone who follows a plant-based diet, Tracy advises a nut roast or celeriac wellington as they are lower in saturated fat.

As an alternative to high-fat ingredients such as butter or lard, Tracy says you should brush them with olive or rapeseed oil. She adds that you can cut them into large chunks - as this process absorbs less fat while still delivering that ultimate satisfying crunch. Veggie glow-up Instead of using liberal amounts of fat to give your vegetables added flavour, Tracy suggests roasting carrots with cumin and honey or tossing parsnips and sweet potatoes with nutmeg as a means of adding sweetness (stock photo) While the assortment of vegetables often included in a Sunday roast - such as peas, carrots and parsnips - the amount of butter you use to cook them can impact their healthy benefits. Instead of using liberal amounts of fat to give your vegetables added flavour, Tracy suggests roasting carrots with cumin and honey or tossing parsnips and sweet potatoes with nutmeg as a means of adding sweetness. She also says that you can steam green vegetables and finish them with fresh herbs instead of butter for a lighter flavour. Smarter stuffing As with other processed foods, pre-mixed stuffing that comes in a packet may be convenient but is high in salt and fat. As a result, the nutritionist advises using whole grains, such as bulgur wheat or quinoa in a homemade stuffing mix for an added source of fibre. She added that chopped nuts, dried cranberries and herbs can be used to boost texture and flavour - eliminating the need for any extra fat or salt. Speaking to The Independent, she said: 'A roast dinner lends itself well to a plate of equal thirds carbohydrates, vegetables and, done right, can give a healthy balance for a great meal. 'Making a few simple swaps can help reduce the impact on your heart health. And during the winter and festive season, when we often have more roasts than usual, those swaps can really make a difference.'

Thomas is trying out a 46-inch driver — a little more than an inch longer than normal — that he previously used for practice at home to gain speed and length. He blasted a 361-yard drive to 8 feet on the par-4 seventh hole and led the field in driving distance. But it was a few long putts that put him ahead of Scheffler, who had a 69. Thomas was on the verge of falling two shots behind when he made an 18-foot par putt on the par-3 12th hole. On the reachable par-4 14th, he was in a nasty spot in a sandy area and could only splash it out to nearly 50 feet. He made that one for a most unlikely birdie, while behind him Scheffler muffed a chip on the 13th hole and made his lone bogey of a windy day. Scheffler never caught up to him, missing birdie chances on the reachable 14th and the par-5 15th. Thomas hit his approach to 3 feet for birdie on the 16th after a 343-yard drive. Scheffler made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 16th to close within one. Scheffler missed birdie chances on the last two holes from the 10-foot and 15-foot range, while Thomas missed an 8-foot birdie attempt at the last. “I had a stretch at 13, 14, 15 where I felt like I lost a shot or two there, but outside of that I did a lot of really good things today,” Scheffler said. Thomas hasn’t won since the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills, and a victory at Albany Golf Club wouldn’t count as an official win. But the two-time major champion has made steady progress toward getting his game back in order. “I’m driving it great. I’ve had a lot of confidence with it,” Thomas said of his longer driver. “I feel like I’ve been able to put myself in some pretty good spots going into the green. I’m still not taking advantage of some of them as much as I would like, but that’s golf and we’re always going to say that.” Thomas was at 17-under 199 and will be in the final group Sunday with Scheffler, who is trying to end his spectacular season with a ninth title. Tom Kim put himself in the mix, which he might not have imagined Thursday when he was 3 over through six holes of the holiday tournament. Kim got back in the game with a 65 on Friday, and then followed with 12 birdies for a 62. He had a shot at the course record — Rickie Fowler shot 61 in the final round when he won at Albany in 2017 — until Kim found a bunker and took two shots to reach the green in making a double bogey on the par-3 17th. Even so, he was only two shots behind. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley (68) was four back. “Feel like I’ve been seeing signs of improvement, which is what you want and that’s all I can do,” Thomas said. “I can’t control everybody else or what’s going on, I’ve just got to keep playing as good as I possibly can and hope that it’s enough come Sunday.” ___ AP golf:Arizona State makes College Football Playoff with 45-19 win over Iowa State in Big 12 title game

‘We drew because of me’ - Kounde takes blame after Barca heldAs the owners of Crane Dance Farm in Middleville, Michigan, we are troubled by the language included in the U.S. House of Representatives’ proposed Farm Bill, which threatens to undermine state agriculture laws. This provision is being touted as a “fix” to California’s Proposition 12 — a 2018 state ballot measure that established important food safety and animal welfare standards. The truth is something else: This proposal poses a grave risk to small, family-owned farms like ours. It also challenges the principles of local governance and consumer choice. For more than two decades, Crane Dance Farm has sought to be a cornerstone of our community, and we have held ourselves to a high standard. We are dedicated to sustainable agriculture, humane animal treatment and fostering strong community ties. Our focus has been on restoring soil health and ensuring that our animals lead happy, healthy lives. We are a regenerative farm, certified humane by A Greener World. We take pride in delivering clean, healthy and ethically sourced products that our customers trust and value. The proposed House Farm Bill threatens to disrupt these efforts by potentially invalidating state agriculture laws and regulations and compromising our ability to maintain high standards and provide responsibly sourced products to our community. Supporters of the proposed legislation seek to override state-level regulations designed to protect local agriculture and ensure the welfare of farm animals. States across the country have implemented specific guidelines that are tailored to address the unique environmental, economic and social conditions of their respective regions. By imposing a one-size-fits-all approach, the current version of the House Farm Bill would strip states of their ability to enact and enforce policies that best serve their agricultural communities. Whether you’re a farmer or a consumer, that’s wrong, and it’s bad for you. In contrast to the House version, the proposed Senate version of the Farm Bill, offered by Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Sen. Debbie Stabenow, demonstrates a strong commitment to — and a deep understanding of — sustainable agriculture. We commend Sen. Stabenow for her strong, consistent and principled history as a champion for Michigan farmers and for animal welfare. We sincerely hope she remains steadfast in her opposition to measures that would undermine state and local agricultural standards and disregard voter preferences, purely to satisfy a small faction of the pork industry that seeks to turn the clock back on humane concern for animals and better products for consumers. We urge the individual members of Michigan’s congressional delegation — and, indeed, all Members of Congress — to carefully consider the far-reaching implications of the Farm Bill, and to stand up for a final version that rejects an unnecessary “fix” for state animal welfare laws. Our nation’s Farm Bill, at its best, should affirm and support the values of local governance, consumer choice and the preservation of our diverse agricultural heritage. The future of small farms and the communities they support depends on it. About the authors: Jill Johnson and Mary Wills are the owners of Crane Dance Farm in Middleville, Michigan. They aim to provide chemical-free pork, beef, lamb, poultry and eggs.
FG reveals important update on reports of COVID Variant XEC in NigeriaTraffic citations issued to Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill after a September altercation with police have been dismissed after the charging officers didn't attend a court hearing. Hill's tickets for careless driving and failing to wear a seat belt were dismissed after the Miami-Dade Police officers failed to show up for a Monday hearing. The tickets were issued after Hill was stopped outside Hard Rock Stadium for allegedly speeding before the Dolphins' season opener on Sept. 8. The stop escalated and an officer pulled Hill from the car, forced him to the ground and handcuffed him. Hill said in a Tuesday post on the social platform X, “Where all the internet cops now”. The Miami-Dade Police said the officers' failure to appear was “an oversight” and “the matter will be handled administratively.” Still, the department defended issuing Hill the tickets. RELATED STORY | 'Still shell-shocked': Tyreek Hill opens up about being detained before NFL game “A citation dismissed due to this reason does not indicate that the citation held no merit,” the agency said in a statement. Police body camera video from the September stop showed Hill appeared to speed past two motorcycle officers who were monitoring traffic on a road outside the stadium. They pulled over his McLaren sports car and one tapped on his window. Hill, 30, handed the officer his driver's license, but told the officer repeatedly, “Don’t knock on my window like that." He then put his window back up. Their verbal exchange escalated and the officers soon pulled him from the car, forcing Hill face-first to the ground. The officers cursed at Hill but he did not resist their physical force or strike at them in the video. He did tell one officer, “Don’t tell me what to do.” Hill was eventually stood up, but then an officer dragged him into a sitting position on the curb after he said a knee injury made that difficult. After about 30 minutes, Hill was issued citations and allowed to enter the stadium. One officer was placed on administrative duty and an internal affairs investigation was launched. No results have been released.12th day of Dallewal fast unto death, but no word on resumption of talksIndia News | People Wanted to Break 'arrogance' of Raja Warring, Says Badal
A former McDonald's holiday cup has resurfaced on social media , inspiring jokes and confusion as users attempt to see past their initial impression of the graphic. The McDonald's cup, released the winter of 2016, shows a pair of white mittens on a read backdrop adorned with snowflakes, hearts and stars. "Warmest Greetings" is scrawled across the mittens. At the mitten thumbs, a prankster has drawn fingers to make the two thumbs resemble hands, making it appear as if the hands are placed on buttocks. McDonalds' graphic design team would benefit from having at least one 14yo boy on hand to vet final designs before they go to printing pic.twitter.com/FtNLOsha7x If I was that 14 year old boy I'd be like "approved" 😈😈😈 The addition of "hands" is a significantly cheeky alteration to the image, making the original mittens unrecognizable to many social media users. I know what I see when I look at that design. But what the hell is it actually supposed to be? What's this supposed to be? I can't unsee the ass Among plenty of quips were a few earnest best guesses at what the image could possibly represent. Well that would be the warmest greeting I've ever had? I thought they were beer mugs being clanked together Internet sleuths clarified that the "hands" were drawn on, and that the image was meant to represent a pair of cozy winter mittens. it took me like 10 minutes to realize those are mittens.... Although hilarious. That is actually an edited image from a design released in 2016. The image on the cup is mittens. The fingers were added. Still funny, though. https://t.co/dilGdINbJ4 pic.twitter.com/nFYY8fc23p The original image, posted eight years ago, was accompanied by an admission that the hands were drawn on. The cup was a viral sensation the first time around too, inspiring similar raunchy commentary. Now how the hell are Starbucks cups in the news again and no one's talking about a guy spreading his cheeks open on McDonald's cups pic.twitter.com/QmIuZiDJst (The hands are drawn on.) While the original cup was altered, the humor remains the same. Originally published by Latin Times .
