Swapping “bad” foods with healthier choices allows us to still experience the taste, flavours & textures without the extra kilos. We all know this is good for us – sometimes we just need a little reminder of some options. Just remember to also watch your portion size too…..
Breakfast swap ideas:
- Vegemite & toast for avocado & tomato on wholegrain/wholemeal toast
- Swap fried eggs for poached or boiled eggs with baby spinach/rocket
- Toast & spread for a super shake with either low fat or almond milk, fruit, LSA (linseed, sunflower, almond meal)
Lunch swap ideas:
- Hamburger for chicken/lamb & salad wrap
- Creamy Caesar salad for garden salad with balsamic dressing
- White bread for wholegrain/wholemeal sandwiches with low fat mayonnaise, wholegrain mustard or avocado instead of butter, & lots of salad
Dinner swap ideas:
- Red meat for fish, chicken or legumes
