To get to a smaller number on the scale, you not only have to work out but also chow down. Ten to 30 per cent of the kilojoules you use each day are burned by the simple act of digesting your food. That means satisfying your food cravings actually fries kilojoules. Pretty cool, right? Give your taste buds what they're after with our five favourite ways to get your powerfood fix.
