The Calorie Cut



Hey foodie-friends!  Looking to cut some calories from your daily intake?  Here are some tips you may not have thought of (or maybe I`m not giving you enough credit and you actually have thought of these)...

*Use skim milk in your coffee rather than creamer! (You get the added benefits of calcium and protein. 1/2 c skim milk= 45 cals, 4.4 g protein, 158 mg calcium while 3 Tbsps half & half= 60 cals, 1.4 g protein, 48 mg calcium)

*Skip your morning glass of OJ (100 calories) and have the orange instead (60-70 calories plus some fiber)!

*Swap out your usual breakfast bagel (260 cals) or glazed donut (250 cals) for an English muffin instead (120 cals)

*Choose fat-free yogurt (100 cals per 6 oz) over regular (160 cals per 6 oz)!

*Skip the cheese on your salad! (100-300 cals)

*Replace sodas (150 cals) and juices (100+ cals) with water or calorie-free beverages!

*Order a vodka & soda (60-75 cals) at cocktail hour instead of your usual martini (140 cals) or glass of wine (120 cals)!

*Leave the butter off of your roll! (120 calories)


....Have some tips of your own? Post them in the comments section! :)
