Do YOU Know Which Foods are Healthier?

We are constantly bombarded with conflicting information about healthy food choices, so it’s no wonder many of us are confused about what we should be eating.

Hidden sugars and preservatives can often mean so-called ‘lighter’ foods are laden with hidden calories, sugars and fats.

Mark Killick, Technical Nutritionist at NutriCentre, has pitted some of our favourite dishes, snacks and drinks against each other. Take our quiz to discover whether you’re making the right choices at meal times.

WHICH IS HEALTHIER? 

HUMMUS OR GUACAMOLE?  

ANSWER: GUACAMOLE

MARK SAYS: Both hummus and guacamole can be considered healthy foods. Although hummus contains more protein to make you feel fuller longer, guacamole contains less calories.

Guacamole contains more of the health-promoting monounsaturated fats, which help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is also higher in potassium which helps to regulate blood pressure.
