78 Ways to Cut 100 Calories

Check out this article from Women's Health Magazine regarding simple ways that you can cut 100 calories from your daily diet throughout the day. Here are a couple examples:

  • Breakfast - ditch the pop-tart for a slice of high fiber toast with strawberry jam.
  • Lunch - pass up croutons from the salad bar.
  • Happy Hour - nurse a single glass of wine instead of downing two beers.
  • On your snack break - Lay off the Lay's Classic Potato Chips and have a handful of Rold Gold pretzels instead.
  • Dessert - Stop eating when you hit the crust. The edges and bottoms of baked goods are especially caloric because they absorb the butter used to grease the pan.
  • In the kitchen - use chicken broth (low-sodium is best) rather than oil to saute meat and veggies.
  • At the drive-thru - Go for grill marks. Order a flame-broiled chicken sandwich rather than one that's breaded (and usually fried in oil).
  • When you're not cooking - request the lemon chicken with white rice, not fried.
