Skipping breakfast can mean potential disaster for your waistline, but snacking on the wrong foods in between can cause just as much trouble.
If you’re restricted to desk dining during the week, then make sure you are prepared.
Stock your desk with fresh fruit and berries such as strawberries, apples, oranges or try a small amount of nuts and seeds.
Probiotic yoghurts are a healthy and handy snack
Think about REPLACING – not REMOVING snack items in your routine! Try exchanging:
- A slice of cake for a delicious fruit and berry salad, with a spoonful of low-fat yoghurt
- A bacon sandwich for a bowl of Kellogg’s Special K Multi-Grain Porridge (104 calories)
- A bar of chocolate for a low-fat, calcium-rich, probiotic yoghurt
- A large muffin (approx 500 calories) for a low calorie pack of Kellogg’s Special K Mini Breaks (100 calories)
- A slice of pizza for 2 wholemeal crisp breads, low fat cream cheese and smoked salmon.
Traditional snacks and treats can contain a high number of calories and are often also high in fat.
Eat snacks like chocolate, crisps, cakes, pastries, biscuits, and ice-cream in moderation/small amounts, and choose light or reduced fat versions.
