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