Melinda Chong, 48
Image coach
Height: 1.59m
Weight: 44kg
Exercise regimen
I run 5 km to 7km almost every day and hit the gym after for strength and toning. For variety, I attend an outdoor HITT class every Friday.
I play all types of sports and am always game to pick up new ones.
Diet
I usually have a full and heavy brunch. In between, I rarely snack, but will have the occasional indulgence.
For dinner, I eat light and skip heavier carbohydrates such as rice. Most times, I have only an acai bowl. I am not a fan of red meat and have a gag reflex if I taste certain parts of meat. I like anything spicy and love chilli.

Student
Height: 1.74m

Exercise regimen
I hit the gym six days a week with free weights and do HIIT workouts as well as skipping and running. I recently picked up long-distance cycling during my rest days, and golfing as well.
Diet
For breakfast, I have two slices of oatmeal bread with a spread and two soft-boiled eggs. For lunch, I have chicken rice.
During tea time, I eat chicken breast with white rice. For dinner, it is cod or salmon. I end my day with cereal. I stay away from durian, but once in a while, I indulge in carrot cake or a McSpicy burger.
