Food experiment - is a 2-week delivered pre-preared low-fat breakfast/lunch/dinner more energy efficient than making breakfast/lunch/dinner every day?
Starting today we have had a weeks worth of pre-prepared breakfast/lunch/dinner delivered, all we have to do it is eat it!
This is a two fold exercise - seeing if the energy & water saved in the preparation and storage and washing up generated by home cooking/shopping is greater or less than the energy & water generated by pre-prepared food.
It's quite a difficult exercise to quantify as we don't know the energy used by the company we are using (lite n easy) so we will have to make some educated assumptions on transport, cooking, storage etc... but we can fairly accurately work out our own usage. So we should get a reasonable comparison.
There are other issues such as wastage of packaging (have already noticed the plastic is a degradable plastic (bit is it food safe?) but will try and find out this type of info for a final breakdown and report. Will also send this information to the company for comments and see if we can build up a final recommendation!
If anyone else has tried this or has experience with pre-prepared/delivered food, please let us know what you think!
Lastly, most people try this to loose weight. We are being delivered 1500 calories every day, so we will also factor in the heath aspect of this exercise as well - might even slim down a little!
Stay Tuned!
