Depending on the kind of lifestyle you lead, you may require a little more energy in your box to keep you going. If you sit in an office most of the day, I’d like you to stick with the standard box with groups A, B and C, and see how your energy levels compare to normal. Chances are if you’re used to eating three times a day you will notice a significant improvement as your blood sugar levels stabilise. You’ll be surprised how much energy you get just by picking at your box.

I never want you to lack energy, so if you feel sluggish, add in one active carb from the list below and see how you perform. Bear in mind that there could be other factors affecting your energy level, such as lack of sleep. You should also add an active carb if you suffer from diabetes.

If you are taking an exercise class or going to the gym, leave around an hour and a half for your food to digest beforehand. Take your box with you so you can replenish your energy directly after your session instead of grabbing unhealthy snacks. Alternatively, a banana is a good post-gym snack.

Let’s just recap the box contents

Group A: Vegetables – Grab a selection of five and throw them into your box.

Group B: Protein – Choose one protein source per box.

Group C: Dressing – Essential to add flavour; a little goes a long way.

Group D: Active carbs – Only add these if you have high activity levels.
