Just like a lot of you, I really love to have something sweet at the end of a meal. Now, imagine if you can have your favourite desserts but without packing on high calories, fat or sugar content. That would be a wish come true. It is very possible with these few really simple food swaps to make desserts just that little bit more nutritious and guilt-free. =)

SWAP
1) Heavy Cream for Greek Yoghurt
2) Cocoa for Carob
3) White Sugar for Stevia
4) Butter for Mashed Bananas
5) Oil for Unsweetened Applesauce
6) White Flour for Oat or Almond Flour
7) Egg for Chia or Flax Seeds
8) Dairy Milk for Soy, Coconut Almond or Rice Milk
9) Cream for Silken Tofu
10) Sugar with Maple Syrup
These are few really simple food swaps to make your desserts and meals much healthier. If this is your first time using a new ingredient, rather than changing the recipe completely, start by swapping a small portion. You might not get it at the right taste or consistency to begin with. But that’s the fun part, keep experimenting until you find the right balance.
What other food swaps do you practice? Do let me know in the comments below.

How to Calculate Food Portions & Macros (Lose Weight Lean Up) | Joanna Soh
In this video, were going to learn how to calculate your food portion and macronutrients. Why is it important? Consuming the right balance of macronutrients can significantly IMPACT your results, whether it’s fat loss, muscle gain or weight maintenance. I believe that we should learn to count our macros to increase our awareness on the quality and amount of food we are consuming.
So grab a calculator as well as a pen and paper because together, we are going to figure out how many calories you need in a day as well as your macronutrients breakdown. Do PAUSE the video when you need to make sure you are following through.
SEE BELOW FOR THE FORMULAS
Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) formulas for both Men & Women:
MEN: calories/day = [10 x weight (kg)] + [6.25 x height (cm)] – [5 x age (y)] + 5
WOMEN: calories/day = [10 x weight (kg)] + [6.25 x height (cm)] – [5 x age (y)] – 161
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
TDEE = REE x activity level
Activity Level:
• Sedentary: x 1.2 (limited exercise)
• Lightly active: x 1.375 (Less than 3 days a week)
• Moderately active: x 1.55 (3 - 5 days a week)
• Very active: x 1.725 (hard exercise every day)
• Extra active: x 1.9 (strenuous exercise 2 or more per day)
