Quick Tips: Using Better Alternatives - 2
4. Tasty snacks:
There are many tasty, low-calorie, snack options available. Here are some examples:
- Pretzels
- Popcorn (Without Butter)
- Baked chips
- Low Calorie Gelatin (Jell-O)
- Low-fat Yogurt with fresh fruit
- Crackers with a low-fat spread
5. Dairy alternatives:
Try some of these dairy alternatives:
- Skim or Low-Fat Milk for Whole Milk
- Low-fat, skim-milk cheese
- Fat-free cheese
- Low-fat or fat-free sour cream over full-fat sour cream
6. Better meat options:
Instead of using full-fat meat or bacon, try one of the following:
- Lean Meat
- Most types of fish
- Chicken
- Canadian Bacon
7. Sandwiches for fast food:
A large burger, a large coke and large fries will set you back 1600 calories. That is for one, single meal.
A sandwich with one of the above mentioned meats and a spread like low calorie mayonnaise will be approximately equal to 300 calories. So you can have two sandwiches with a beverage of your choice and save about 900 calories per meal.
To put things in perspective, that is the equivalent of 3600 calories or about 1 pound lost in 4 days. Not bad for changing a single meal.
Make your sandwiches at home and you can avoid the lunch hour rush as well.
