I did this with the recipes those well meaning but stupid students printed out when they were making food parcels to fit her recipes. I think only one of them had enough calories to come close to a decent meal (like 600 or something)Sooooo, as promised, I've forensically analysed a Jack recipe, in this case Simple Tomato and Bean Soup.
I've used the package data from the packaged stuff, and the SELF website date for the fresh food.
1 carrot (using 1 US cup as an average carrot) – 52 calories
2 garlic cloves 8 calories
I medium onion 44 calories
Stock made with a cube 30 calories
Asda baked beans per tin330calories –
minus 70 for the sauce being rinsed 260 calories
Asda chopped tomatoes 1 tin 310 calories
Total calories 704
Recipe is for four people so 176 calories per person.
If this is an entire meal it is not nutritionally adequate for a growing child - you would have to add a couple of slices of bread and butter to bring it up to around 400 calories. No mention of the tiny calorie count in the recipe itself.
Jack describes it as "a hearty, filling soup suitable for lunch or a light supper" - at 176 calories it is neither hearty nor filling. And the costing of 20p per portion is misleading, since a quarter of that recipe would not fill a shrew.

She could trip over Coops and then just as she's getting up Content could leap at her sending her flying backwards. Then her trousers fall down and the Vicar comes to the door. It would be so funny.She's completely lost the fucking plot. Take a break pal. Maybe a nice fall down the stairs? That normally makes you feel better.
The whole Go Easy Pal and the likes. Total cringe. Bet she doesn't even know what salt and sauce isI loathe Scottish Jack. Someone I know moved to Scotland from somewhere very south and is calling things “wee” and frankly I could punch him in the face Every. Single. Time.
ETA I love the term when actual Scottish people use it. I’m not anti-Scottish, just anti-twats.

Yes, what I thought-or big Dave. No doubt on the fantasy £1 amount so she can screenshot it as proof.I wonder how many of those are Jack signing up to herself, whilst she sneers to herself 'That'll show those pesky Tattlers'
Ok so a close relative of mine works for CAB, and they said this is v dodgy advice. Followed by a bunch of swear words about idiots not helping anybody.So in amongst all the squigs on Jack’s latest ‘advice’ threads, where they are telling Jack she should be running the country with her immense knowledge of just about everything, noticed this little exchange. Squig who appears to work in finance querying a Jack statement. Needless to say after her first reply, Jack dropped out, no more replies….OUT OF HER DEPTH.
When Martin Lewis is back from his hols, he’s not going to be happy with his second-in-command (Squigs words, not poor Martin’s) talking toss, he’s gonna have to row back so many of her comments. Martin’s not back until the end of the month, although he popped in today as he felt it warranted, eeeeek the damage Jack will be doing between now and then

She has one from 2020 if I remember rightly. CCJs are on a public register.Because, *insert jimmy nail gif*
Either she’s lying about the CCJ she did have from her Hunger Hurts days being on her file still, OR she never even had one to begin with.
I remember they were popular on the MSE forum back in the day. Jack periodically claims she's going to do this low energy cooking, but,haybox, it’s basically an insulated box that retains heat to cook food. So say you make a stew bring to boil on hob, using just a few mins of fuel, pop it in hay box, (in its pan obviously) it keeps hot and cooking for hours

Thanks - yes, you're right I have definitely overestimated on the tin of tomatoes..... in my defence I have just had three Aperol Spritzes at the pub. ;-)I think you're overestimating there.
The beans form less than half a tin, which means taking the sauce off gives nearer 180 calories sans sauce. Stock cubes are about 8 calories each and Tinned tomatoes are under 100 calories for a full tin, so you've got
52+8+44+8+180+94 = 386 or 96.5 kcal per person. And no vitamin D.
Can't be having poor people lookinghealthyfat, can she?
I bet she twerks like Tina from Bob's Burgers. https://giphy.com/3o6ZtpWvwnhf34Oj0AAny and all songs that turn Jack into a stripper need to be banned.
