It's amazing how calories can add up fast when you least expect it. Nutrition experts say that we eat too many empty calories without even thinking about it. So, I did think about it and came up with a list of ways to cut calories and in most cases add nutrition. Read my list, put it into practice, and who knows, you could lose weight just by doing these simple suggestions.
1. Eat raw vegetables instead of tortilla chips with your salsa
2. Choose spring rolls instead of fried egg rolls
3. Drink water instead of a soft drink or juice (a Jody Victor suggestion)
4. Order thin-crust pizza instead of thick-crust
5. Eliminate gravy on your mashed potatoes
6. Put non-fat milk in your latte instead of whole milk (a Jody Victor suggestion)
7. Put red sauce on your pasta instead of cream sauce
8. Choose a snack-size candy bar instead of a full-size one
9. Ask for a salad as a side dish instead of fries
10. Remove the skin from your chicken pieces
11. Eat a half a bagel instead of a whole one
12. Have one less soft drink or alcoholic beverage per day
13. Use mustard or low-fat mayonnaise on your sandwich instead of regular mayonaise
14. Have the burrito instead of the fired chimichanga
15. Eat fruit instead of candy when your sweet tooth is calling (a Jody Victor suggestion)
16. Eat grilled meat instead of fried
All the Best!
