Save 100 Plus Calories

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, September 14, 2011

By Heather Hawk

Follow these easy tricks to cut 100 calories and drop the extra pounds…

  • Ask for a “dry” bun – Chefs and cooks frequently swipe the bun with a knife-ful of butter or mayo. Keeping the bun dry can save up to 120 calories.
  • Lighten up your juice – Instead of downing 12 ounces of juice, try mixing 6 ounces of juice with 6 ounces of water. Or opt for an Arnold Palmer and mix lemonade with unsweetened iced tea. This lighter version can save up to 100 calories.
  • Save the olive oil for last – We often think of sautéing our veggies as a low fat option, but some vegetables simply soak up the majority of the oil. Instead try steaming the vegetables then tossing them with a few teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil and other spices just before serving. Adding the oil last can save up to 150 calories per cup of veggies.
