If you’re fighting a war remember to always have a healthy snack close at hand to stop you surrendering to the biscuit tin. The new Biggest Loser Cookbook has healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes galore, we highly recommend it, while we’ve stolen the healthy snack list, as we do like a snack here at Handbag Towers.
Remember, these are approximate calorie counts as we’re not there to see how large your plums are and don’t cheat yourself, sometimes you will need to weigh your food as grabbing a massive helping of nuts rather than the recommended amount is going to ruin your calorie count, and we ladies do love to fool ourselves by overestimating our exercise and underestimating the calories we’ve eaten. Don’t, you’re only cheating yourself.
