100 Easy Ways to Cut 50 Calories

The first step of our health journey is to pinpoint easy ways to cut 50 calories - easy things like making swaps that don't affect taste. This Reader's Digest slideshow makes it so easy to shave calories on every day meals: http://www.rd.com/slideshows/100-easy-ways-to-cut-50-calories/#slideshow=slide1 I really like the tips such as:
  • Swap a cup of whole milk for a cup of skim. Calories saved: 65
  • Use egg whites when preparing your favorite omelet instead of whole eggs. Calories saved: 55 per egg yolk omitted
  • Subs for lunch? Substitute 2 tablespoons of light mayonnaise for 2 tablespoons of the high-fat version. Calories saved: 100
  • Choose a serving of canned fruit packed in natural fruit juice instead of heavy syrup. Calories saved: 60
