As Easter approaches, there's only one thing on our minds...
CHOCOLATE!
But don't go to egg-stremes, a typical Easter egg contains around 1000 calories - that's half your daily allowance.
To help you survive the holiday without becoming a bulging bunny, here's my guide to making this one a guilt-free Easter.
SWAP CHOCOLATE EGGS FOR CHICK EGGS
Eggs are packed with protein, essential vitamins, iron, phosphorus and zinc. They're also low in calories and saturated fats, so won't pile on the pounds.
"The added energy will give you a spring in your step."
GO FOR DARK
If the thought of going without is too much, stick to dark as it's lower in calories and fat.
Choose chocolate that's high in cocoa as it's packed with antioxidants which can combat cancer, arthritis and heart disease.
Dark chocolate is also high in frolic acid which is beneficial during pregnancy and magnesium which is linked to the prevention of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
GET SOME EGGS-ERCISE
The weather's getting warmer so why not get out there and blast those Easter calories?
"To burn off an easter egg containing 1000 calories you'd need to run for an hour and 40 minutes.
"Or you could walk quickly for two hours and 45 minutes."
So get running! Either way Happy Easter
