Save 200 Calories A Day

Simple tweaks to your eating could save you 200 calories a day. In one year, that adds up to 20 pounds! Here are some simple suggestions:

Substitute yogurt for mayo – Use 2% Greek yogurt which has the same texture but only 75 calories for half a cup versus 450 calories for mayonaise

Skip the cheese – Build a healthier sandwich and hold the cheese. Use veggies or go gourmet with slices of apple and pear

Makeover your milk shake – use 1% milk with a cup of unthawed unsweetened frozen strawberries

Spice up your salad – when order salad out, ask for salsa or pico de gallo instead of dressing. Half a cup of salsa has 35 calories and almost no fat

Beat the office munchies – avoid the temptation of the vending machine by chewing a piece of fruit-flavored sugar-free gum. There are all kinds of tropical flavors like mango and sangria so you can feel like you're indulging when you're not

Breakfast of champions – Instead of a bagel with cream cheese, have a whole wheat English Muffin with two tablespoons of fat-free cream cheese

Water, water, water – People forget that calories come in liquid form, replace one 20 oz bottle of soda for water and you'll save 200 calories
