Cutting Calories

Members Were Sparked

I love peanut butter. In order to cut the calories in a peanut butter sandwich, I slightly toast the bread first. Then put about a teaspoon of peanut butter on a slice of bread. It still has the delicious taste of peanut butter and a slight crunch that I love!

Cutting portions and helping your bottom line.

To cut portion sizes, calories and my grocery budget I buy lean hamburger in club packs and divide it at home. I now divide it into 3/4 pound packs instead of 1 pound packs. This does not affect the taste of recipes. It cuts calories and it makes my grocery budget go further.

Savor every bite

Do you have a sweet tooth? Do you like to end every meal in desert? If you do there are lots of "alternatives" you can use to cut calories and fat. However, alot of times I've tried those sugar free/fat free foods and after finishing honestly wonder why I wasted the calories. For me the better alternative is to sit down with a small piece of my favorite indulgence and savor every bite, texture and taste...Make it worth the calories and you'll walk away satisfied.
