No food rules here ☺️

Greek yoghurt is a delicious, creamy addition to breakfast and a nutritious snack, especially if you’re trying to boost your calcium intake. Who knew there were so many choices?! Not all products are created equal though, so it’s worth comparing different brands. When doing so, look at the per 100g column so you’re comparing like with like. The values listed here are based on that.

Front-of-package labelling can also be a bit tricky. For example, some products highlight the amount of a nutrient per serve because this value is usually higher than the per 100g value. However, if you don’t typically eat that full serving in one sitting, you won’t actually be getting that amount of the nutrient either.

It’s also worth noting that all of these examples are natural in flavour, so the nutrient profile will change if you choose a fruit-flavoured variety, for instance.

Use this information to help guide your food choices and support your goals whatever they may be and let us know in the comments what your fav is.

Building sustainable habits doesn’t have to mean big changes! We know from the evidence that small changes are more effective in the long-run.
Here are 6 simple strategies to support you with making change:

1️⃣ Habit stack: tie a new habit to an existing one. An example for me recently is to connect flossing to brushing my teeth!

2️⃣ Set up your environment: examples include keeping fruit visible, pre-cutting vegetables to snack on, taking snacks to work with you to keep in your drawer or bag.

3️⃣ Reduce friction: make helpful habits easier. For example, getting your gym clothes out the night before, or putting your exercise clothes on as soon as you get home from work.

4️⃣ Celebrate success: we tend to overlook when things are going well... celebrate your wins in a way that aligns with your values and what you’re trying to achieve. For example: goal of going to the gym 3x per week, after my Saturday session, I’ll shout myself a coffee.

5️⃣ Track progress: tick boxes, apps, fitness watch, whatever works for you!

6️⃣ Share the journey – friends, family, or a group for accountability.

Remember: one small change at a time is enough. Build habits that last, not quick fixes.
