Nutritional content of supermarket ready meals and recipes by television chefs in the United Kingdom: cross sectional study.

The article reports a study compared the energy and macronutrient content of main meals created by television chefs with ready meals sold by supermarkets, and compared both with nutritional guidelines published by the World Health Organization. The results revealed that neither ready meals old at supermarkets nor recipes created by television chefs complied with WHO recommendations. Recipes were less healthy than ready meals, as they contained significantly more fat and less fibre per portion.
