Nutritional Value

  • Compared to vegetables, fruit have a slightly higher sugar content. While the amount is negligible from a weight management perspective, we should always prioritise vegetables as they’re generally lower in sugar, and denser in fibre and micronutrients.

  • Protein is important in meals to give satiety (sustained fullness), so that you’re not hungry within 5 minutes. It’s also important for tissue building and repair (e.g. hair, muscles, and nails) and is a main pre-cursor for neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
