When eating Burgers or Hot Dogs at a BBQ be aware the bread roll is often more calories than the burger itself! Chose carefully or leave the bread alone altogether.

How to drink less and save calories
- Alternate a glass of wine with water or low-calorie soft drink, or try adding soda water to a glass of wine to make a long refreshing spritzer – lots of ice too!
- Go for a small glass of wine (125ml), rather than a medium (175ml) or large (250ml) glass and steer clear of special offers like ‘buy two large glasses and get the bottle of wine free’ – a saving for your purse as well as your hips/bum/tum!
- If you are drinking wine at home always use a small glass (125ml) and keep the bottle in the kitchen so you have to get up to have another. This might give you enough time to decide not to have a refill. Add lemonade to make the drink longer!
- Cut down the alcohol in wine by swapping your usual strength of wine for a lower strength. Some wines can have an ABV (Alcohol by Volume) as high as 14% or 15%. Low-alcohol wines have ABVs of 9% and lower.
- Bottles of beer have less in them and is a good way to reduce the calories, Carona for example has just 139cals in a bottle compared to nearly 200cals in a pint of lager.
