Karen Daly is the celebrated author and publisher of the best-selling Fats & Figures series of books, which have assisted countless Australians to achieve better health through education on healthy eating.

Fats and Figures publications have achieved enormous success and sold well over 1 million copies Australia wide to date. The Fats and Figures series is universally acclaimed and acknowledged as one of Australia's most effective and leading series of health publications.

Karen pioneered the high fat/low fat/good fat/bad fat revolution and exposed the vast inconsistencies in fat content of everyday food brands via her own extensive research and the subsequent publication of the original Fats & Figures shopper's guide in 1994.

Karen has also totally overturned the long held belief that healthy, low fat food is bland, tasteless and boring. An innovative and creative chef, who does not compromise on flavour, Karen originated all of the delicious recipes and menus that appear in her much sought after series of books.

In addition to twice featuring on the top rating national television program 'A Current Affair', Karen has won high praise from the public for her unique visual and educational food comparisons on television programs such as 'Good Morning Australia' and 'Bright Ideas'.

As a result, her Fats & Figures books are now responsible for converting thousands of Australians to the joys of healthy low-fat eating with recipes that are simple, nutritionally sound and most importantly, packed with flavour.

A respected fitness and nutrition expert, Karen is a regular weekly columnist for leading women’s magazine New Idea. Also in demand as a lecturer at corporate and commercial events Australia wide, Karen has also compiled articles on health, exercise and nutrition for magazines such as Woman’s Day, Good Medicine and NW.

Karen is a fully qualified Fitness Australia Certificate III gym instructor with over 10 years experience in personal training and teaching all types of aerobic classes. Her sporting background also includes NSW representative swimming and lifesaving awards.

Apart from her regular media and television appearances, Karen Daly is a former Mrs Australia and 4th runner up Mrs World and also modelled with Australia's leading model agency, Vivien's, as well as lecturing for the June Dally Watkins Academy.

Karen is married to noted big band jazz maestro Warren Daly OAM, with whom she is joint CEO of their publishing company Rock Wallaby Enterprises Pty Ltd. Warren launched Fats & Figures with Rock Wallaby on national television in 1994 with the company continuing to conceptualise, market and distribute the Fats & Figures brand to this day.

Rock Wallaby is proud to continue to present the Fats & Figures brand, a fully Australian owned enterprise, delivering a world class quality and innovative product that is assisting Australians to achieve their goals in good health.
