Top five kilojoule-blasters

  1. Swap cheddar cheese for fetta.

Fetta has fewer kilojoules and less fat per serving than cheddar cheese and it tastes just as good on a pizza.

  1. Swap orange juice for tomato juice.

Tomato juice is better for weight loss as it contains less than half the kilojoules of orange juice and has a lower GI.

  1. Swap flat breads for lettuce wraps.

If you’re cutting back on bread, try crisp lettuce wraps instead. Sang choy bow is a great alternative to those burritos!

  1. Swap a sandwich for some sushi.

Sushi is much lower in kilojoules and fat than your average cheese-and-tomato sanger. Go for salmon, for an omega-3 hit.

  1. Swap roasted peanuts for pumpkin seeds.

Snack on seeds for a lower-kilojoule nutrient boost.
