Have your cake and eat it?

If all you can think about is chocolate, biscuits or crisps, here are some lower-calorie substitutes.



Have your cake and eat it?
Beware that although lower in calories,
some of these swaps can still be high in
sugar. Also, lower-calorie should not be
taken as a licence to indulge.
Crisps – swap for lower-fat, lower-salt
oven-baked crisps, which contain up to
70% less fat than standard varieties.
Pork scratchings  – try swapping for
homemade air-popped, plain popcorn.
Ice-cream – opt for lower-fat frozen
yoghurt, or try sorbet made from
sweetened water flavoured with fruit.
Cereal bar – despite their healthy
image, most cereal bars are high in
sugar and fat. Look out for bars that
are low in sugar, fat and salt.
Chocolate – swap for a lower-calorie
hot instant chocolate drink. You can
also get chocolate with coffee and
chocolate with malt varieties.
Biscuits – swap  for oat cakes, oat
biscuits or unsalted rice cakes, which
contain fibre.
Sweets – try dried fruit such as raisins,
sultanas, dates, apricots or figs, which
all count towards your 5 A Day.
Cake – swap for a plain currant bun,
fruit scone or malt loaf. Avoid toppings
like butter, icing, jam or cream.
Sugary fizzy drinks  – try mixing
sparkling water with unsweetened
fruit juice, which counts towards your
5 A Day, or choose a lower-calorie diet
variety.
