Swapping sugary snacks and drinks for ones that are lower in sugar can really help make a difference to your calorie intake. Not only that, but it's far better for your teeth too.

Here are a few ideas on what to swap:

• Swap to water, semi-skimmed milk (remember children under 2yrs need full fat milk) or diluted fresh fruit juice instead of drinks with added sugar like coke or squash.
• Switch to snacks like fresh fruit, carrot sticks and unsalted nuts instead of sweets or biscuits.
• Swap to lower sugar cereals, fruit or toast instead of cereals with lots of sugar added to them.
