Malt Loaf: This is a great craving killer and is full of fibre. Get a pack of Soreen lunchbox sized loaves to help control portion size- they are less than 100 calories each.

Oat milk: Full of fibre, low calorie, and a great alternative to dairy milk.
Topless pies: Why not try your favourite cottage or chicken pie without its calorie laden top of pastry or creamy mashed potato for a lower fat and carb free alternative. Serve in a dish and pile on the vegetables on the side.

0% fat greek yoghurt: is a real healthy hero- its so creamy you'd never guess it was fat free and you can add it to your cooking to replace cream or mayo. Mixed with white wine vinegar, chopped chilli and a spoon full of wholegrain mustard it makes a fab fat free coleslaw dressing!
