1. Use an oil spray for frying, or make up your own. Mix half olive oil, half water in a spray canister, give it a good shake and use a couple of squirts before frying.
2. Use strong cheese such as mature Cheddar or Parmesan – a stronger taste means you can use less.
3. Switch to skinny lattes. The change from full fat to skimmed will almost halve your calorie intake from 190 to 102 on a large latte.*
4. Remove the skin from chicken before cooking and you’ll remove most of the fat, too.
5. Hold the dressing on salads. Instead, add fresh chopped herbs and a light spritz of lemon juice and mature balsamic vinegar, then toss with a few big-flavour ingredients, such as capers and olives.
