Wynnie says: By eating leftovers for lunch and a snack, Alistair makes an important contribution to the environment.
A UK report published by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) last month found that the average British household dumps almost a third of all the food it buys.
That's equivalent to 6.7 tonnes of food each year.
Apart from the obvious monetary costs, this has a direct and negative impact on the environment. Most of the food thrown away goes into landfill sites. There it breaks down and produces carbon dioxide and methane gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Alistair has a varied diet and enjoys dishes from different parts of the world. For dinner, he sometimes has souvlakis which make a great tasting, fast meal.
This is a typical Greek dish made from small cubes of meat, such as beef, lamb or pork, grilled on a skewer, sometimes with vegetables.
The meat can be served inside a pita bread with lettuce, tomato, onions and a yogurt, garlic and cucumber sauce, or it can be accompanied by just rice.
Alistair's lifestyle tip:
'One thing my footy coach always told me was to have a balanced diet. It's okay to eat everything, including junk food, but in moderation. Eating too much of anything is unhealthy. So, some chips and sweets are fine as long as you compensate for it with regular exercise and a balanced diet.'
