Hello you curious thing!

I'm Paul 👋 (@paulthenutritionist on instagram) I'm pleased you've found yourself here, because that tells me you're curious about the rest of nutrition in these dishes not just the calories and the protein!

I did toy with adding ALL the nutrition information but figured that it would make very boring reading, hence why I've bought you here!

We spent A LOT of time working out these menus, so I hope you enjoy them. Below is a complete breakdown of all the nutritional information of the November/ December 2025 selected items.

Anyway, menu items listed below and if you have ANY questions - email me: paul@thenutritionistuk.com

High Protein 'Loaded' Nachos

We spent a lot of time playing with this and I settled on this offering something that could actually be a main, but a nice sharing starter or a BIG starter if you're a greedy guts...

Ingredients:

Wholemeal pitta bread (60 g), cut into triangles and baked
Lean beef mince, 5% fat (80 g), grilled
Light mature cheddar cheese (25 g), grated
0% fat Greek yoghurt (60 g)
Chopped tomato salsa (40 g, low salt)
Avocado (25 g, optional garnish)
Spices: paprika, cumin, salt, pepper

Skinny Gammon Pave, Peas & Poached Egg

This is a take on Gammon but is a leaner more succulent cut. It's grilled REALLY well... also don't be put off by the new potatoes they are UNREAL!

Ingredients:

Lean gammon steak (100 g, grilled, visible fat trimmed)
New potatoes (180 g, boiled then grilled with 1 tsp olive oil or spray)
Garden peas (80 g)
1 medium egg (poached)
Seasoning: salt, pepper, parsley

Superfood Protein Punch Salad

Ok, I'm going to be honest, this was Matt (owners) idea... I was conscious that you'd all presume I was going to be pushing salads all day... now the good new is this salad IS NOT your usual salad... on our tasting day at the Lost Pug - chef Luke showed me how he creates his with chickpeas, greenbeans, rice and grains with a quarter chicken on top and it was UNREAL... yours may be a little different to that, and it is ABSOLUTELY FINE, I wanted the chefs to have fun with it.

Ingredients (base):

Chickpeas (½ can / 100 g drained)
Seasonal Grains
Seasonal Green veg
Roasted butternut squash or sweet potato (dependent on what's in season) (50 g)
Olive oil (1 tsp / 5 g)
½ lemon (juice)
Mixed herbs and black pepper

Choice of protein topping:

Chicken supreme (120 g, skin removed, grilled)
or Halloumi (80 g, grilled)

Approximate nutrition:

With chicken: 510 kcal | 46 g protein | 32 g carbs | 17 g fat | 4.5 g sat fat | 9 g fibre | 1.4 g salt
With halloumi: 570 kcal | 34 g protein | 30 g carbs | 25 g fat | 9 g sat fat | 9 g fibre | 1.8 g salt

Pug Skinny Burger

RIGHT... I couldn't NOT weigh in on the PUG BURGER... they're KNOWN for it... so that's why we created this... a succulent, lean chicken burger with all the trimmings... do NOT be put off by the new potatoes... they are SO GOOD because they're finished off in the grill and arguably better than wedges!

Olive oil or spray (1 tsp / 5 g)
