  We used to have a mincer at my parents' house, but we kicked him out when he started stealing my mum's underwear.

  £1.67 for 500g at Tesco which works out the same price per g.. which is nice if you've sold your soul to Tesco for clubcard points like me.

  I remember buying this a few weeks ago to replace mince as a healthier alternative as my misses was dieting, never again.
  
  Absolutely tasteless.

  Used to cook with this a lot, until I discovered the joy of puy lentils. Cooked properly they're much tastier.

  Agreed :(
  As far as calorie counting goes enjoying a "proper" bolognese is worth taking the stairs, walking into town or just working out for a bit!
  It used to amaze me how so many girls at my old college took the lift up a single flight of stairs or moaned when it was out of order.
  The same flight that I used to walk up / down at least 4 times a day without even thinking about it
  
  Any good weight-loss adviser will tell you the same thing, dieting isn't even half as important as physical exercise :|
  
  But a good choice for vegetarians! So some heat from me :)

  Why are people scared of calories? Sure, these have less, but in no way are they "better" for you.

  First off I have lost 60lbs this year and exercise 5 days a week. Walking up and down the stair a few times will get your heart racing but if you are obese / overweight that is not going to make a great deal of difference. It takes 3500 cals to burn a pound, thats a lot of taking the stairs instead of the lift.
  
  Second, the fat / cholesterol in beef, even lean beef is not worth it, although lean turkey breast is better. Quorn is a good alternative, cooked properly with good ingredients, particularly those that are tomato based makes a big difference. Quorn bolgnaise or burritos are lovely. But each to their own, taste is subjective.
  
  I know for me dieting can be very expensive; I have to do a calculation with deals like this in mind; value V's calories V's nutrition V's taste. Some days taste wins and I will have beef, but usually calories and value swing it. I got fat by eating cheap crap like burgers and readymeals full of junk.
  
  I will stop preaching now! I am writing a diet book lol can you tell?

  Talking about the fat in lean beef, yet eating pastas/bread?
  
  Really?

  I eat pasta maybe once a month as I don't really like it, I find it dull but its is filling. I do like my bolognasie on a bed of raw spinach leaves, now thats yummy! And I eat bread maybe once every 2 weeks, not that I don't love it, I do, I just am intolerant to yeast. But its no big deal. I have been eating better so long I don't really miss it, but I do have the advantage of working from home so I can prepare a lot of my meals in a my own home without having to rely on getting sandwiches for lunch or eating on the run

  Seems like you're burning plenty of energy worrying about other people's diets.

  I have to recommend Beanfeast for a mince alternative, it is just so much nicer than this stuff and it's a quid a pouch when not on offer.

  Good price for Quorn, but as stated earlier, also currently on offer at Tesco.As far as taste goes, I have always thought it a bit tasteless myself, although it will absorb flavours so it depends what you're using as a sauce to cook it in .Asda do their own vegemince( which I use), which is good in chilli, spag bol, shepherd's pie etc as do Sainsburys, Morrisons and Tesco, all round about the same price, usually on offer at 2 for £3, worth trying if you don't care for Quorn, seems to go further too.

  Some people with heart problems or high cholesterol problems have to avoid saturated fat in normal mince - so using quorn is a great alternative - nice find. It's not always about 'calories'.
