    Make It Count

    Make It CountMake It CountCutting back your calorie intake doesn't need to be a painful experience. With just a few nips and tucks to your normal eating regime, you can easily save hundreds of calories a week. Read on to discover 10 tips that will help you toward a slimmer self.







    Mustard

    MustardMustardSwap mayo for mustard: 2 Tbsp of mayo has 200 calories; 2 Tbsp of mustard has just 30.







    Fruit

    FruitFruitEat fresh fruit instead of dried. One half-cup of raisins has more than 200 calories, but one full cup of fresh grapes has just 80.









    Oil

    OilOilUse an oil mister instead of pouring olive or canola oil straight from the bottle. A Tbsp of oil has 120 calories, but with a mister you'll use a fraction of that.

    Cheese

    CheeseCheeseLeave the cheese off your sandwich. Instead, pile on lots of very low-cal veggies. The veggies add nutrition and volume, so your sandwich will be extra-filling.







    Bagels

    BagelsBagelsScoop out the inside of a bagel. It's an easy way to make a high-carb treat a little lighter.








    Sandwiches

    Eat your sandwiches open-faced (with just one slice of bread instead of two). SandwichesSandwiches










    Soda

    SodaSodaSwap your daily (12-oz) can of regular soda (150 calories) for a can of naturally flavored, calorie-free seltzer. These seltzers get their taste solely from a shot of natural fruit flavor, such as lime, raspberry or orange. They don't contain any sugar or artificial sweeteners, so they're not super-sweet-but thanks to the carbonation, they have that fizzy pop we all love from soda.






    Egg Whites

    Eat two egg whites instead of two whole eggs. Egg WhitesEgg Whites











    Salad Dressing

    Salad DressingSalad DressingSwitch from regular salad dressing (about 140 calories for 2 Tbsp) to a light salad dressing. (Look for brands that have no more than 40 calories in 2 Tbsp.)









    Pizza

    PizzaPizzaDon't eat the end crust on your pizza. It packs about 100 calories.

      I hate calorie counting. Just learned about eating the right foods to help lose a few pounds. You can to from this source. http://bit.ly/ho4vjC

      Full fat cheese is actually good for you in moderation, and good for dieters too. Many studies have shown people that consume full fat cheese as part of their diets actually lose more weight or have a healthier body weight overall. So that is an extremely stupid way to save very little calories. No sense cutting out something that's good for you. But avoid processed cheeses, like the yellow American in the cellophane wrappers.

      In regards to the bagels, try english muffins instead of scooping out and wasting food, time and money. Or simply buy bagel thins.

      Olive oil is also better for you than processed oils if you use sparingly. Or try an olive oil spray.

      Other than that, ok suggestions.

      Instead of "scooping out" bagels, just buy "Bagel Thins." They're only 110 calories. I have one almost every morning. Also, no need to give up cheese as long as you use a low-cal type of cheese. The one I use is only 30 calories.

      If I am treating myself to pizza then I am treating myself to the crust too! Best part!

      When I ever eat pizza, I never eat the crust. NEVER.
