Calories can be cruel. Sweat through a 30 minute workout and you can torch 200. Take three gulps of a foamy frappuccino and you're right back where you started. But slashing those suckers can be as effortless as piling them on. Here you will find ways you can cut 100 or more calories at a pop.
AT BREAKFAST
Ditch the Pop-Tart for a slice of high-fiber toast with strawberry jam.
Drink your two cups of joe black. Or order a single espresso instead of your usual latte.
Swap OJ for the real deal - one fresh orange.
Scramble together 4 egg whites instead of 2 whole eggs.
AT LUNCH
Leave the Swiss cheese out of your sandwich.
Instead of mayo - put a couple slices of Avocado on your turkey sandwich
Pass up croutons at the salad bar.
Take your iced tea unsweetened.
Go bunless - shed your hamburger roll.
AT HAPPY HOUR
Nurse a single glass of wine instead of downing 2 beers.
Ask for your rum and diet cokes - not regular coke.
Drizzle extra hot sauce, not blue cheese or ranch dressing, on your wings.
Ask for your cocktails on the rocks instead of frozen. Slushy fruit drinks tend to be made of bottled mixers that contain added sugar and syrups.
Happy St. Patty's Day to All!
If you are planning on drinking tonight - drink in moderation. Drink one large glass of water per drink!
DON'T PACK ON THE CALORIES!
Avocado on a sandwich is DELICIOUS!!! I had that today. Another suggestion if you don't want to go bunless is to get sandwich thins, I bought multi-grain ones and they are pretty good.
