10 Easy Ways to Cut Calories
Eating healthy doesn't have to mean huge sacrifices. Here are some simple swaps to help you cut calories from your regular snacks and meals.
1. Bag the Bagel
Instead of a high-calorie bagel for breakfast, try an English muffin.
2. Skim and Slim
Replace the Coffeemate or cream in your coffee with skim milk.
3. A Little Fruity
Try adding sweet fruit (bananas or berries) to your yogurt and cereal in place of sugar.
4. Ditch the Dressing
Swap your salad dressing for lemon juice and spices like oregano and basil.
5. Mayo Mayhem
Sandwiches with dijon mustard instead of mayo are tasty and lower in calories!

7. Poppin' In
When you're craving potato chips or french fries, try air-popped popcorn.
8. Go Small
Can't beat the sweet tooth? Enjoy a few mini chocolate bars rather than one full-sized treat.
