It’s natural to conclude that being serious about fitness and serious about making sweets would be mutually exclusive.

But Eloise Head, the creator of sweet treats behind Fitwaffle Kitchen, is proving this wrong.

A former personal trainer, she’s still serious about fitness and mindful of her own nutrition.

But she also loves making and eating sweets and believes they can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

Inher exclusive interview, she also shared what she typically eats in a day.

Her typical meals are similarly simple.

“For breakfast, I’ll generally have something like Greek yogurt with fruit and honey on it.

It’ll be quite light in the morning.”

Protein is also a big component of her meals.

“I try and eat a good amount of protein with each of my meals,” she said.

“For lunch, I’ll generally have something like a sandwich, with some sort of protein filling …

I also might have a salad or some fruit on the side of that.

I tend to snack on something like chicken bites, marinated chicken, or protein bars.”

Dinners for her are also protein-forward.

“For dinner, I’ll usually have some sort of protein, chicken or fish.

“Nice and quick and easy, and gets in all my main food groups.”

This wasn’t always easy for her.

“I would give foods such a moral value.

Today, she regularly enjoys sweets, but in moderation.

I might have a small ice cream …

I do tend to snack on what I’m baking throughout the day as well.”
