Wynnie Chan

Name: Alistair Cameron

Age: 18

Breakfast: A bowl of porridge and a cup of tea or a glass of apple juice, and sometimes a piece of fruit

Snack: Another cup of tea, some fruit or a sandwich, a piece of cake

Lunch: Varies, but usually leftovers from the previous night's dinner or sometimes a Vegemite sandwich

Snack: Whatever's in the fridge, leftovers, cheese, sometimes cup noodles

Dinner: Sometimes steak and veggies or a curry or bangers and mash or souvlakis; Water, juice, soft drink or a glass of wine

Eating out with friends: Usually the food court at Festival Walk

Eating out with family: The Peak Lookout and other similar places at the weekend, on a work night it's usually a pub meal

Favourite foods: 'Indian and Thai food, but other types of cooking as well. If it tastes good, I'll eat it.  You can't beat a good Aussie BBQ, though.'

Lifestyle: ' In Australia, I swim a lot. In Hong Kong I've been meaning to go to the gym for the last few months but there always seems to be a TV show that I want to watch!'

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.'
