Easy Ways To Cut Calories

Most people think that dieting and cutting calories means giving up a lot of the foods you love. But there are ways to cut out some of the calories in those foods that you just do not think you can do without. Here are some of the things you can do to cut out some of the calories.

1. Layered cakes and Pies: Cut off the bottom layer or the crust. This will not decrease the calorie count a ton, but it will shave off more than 100 calories. Better yet, eat only half of it.

2. Tuna or other canned meat: Your taste buds probably will not notice the difference between the oil packed and the water packed, so go for the water.

3. Salads: Limit or do not use croutons or cheese. And instead of having the dressing on your salad, get it on the side and try dipping it, you will use a lot less dressing.

4. Snacks: Portion things like popcorn and chips in individual bags instead of just eating it from the bag, that way you will not end up eating the entire bag in one sitting.

5. Sandwiches and Pizza: When ordering a sandwich, throw out either the top or bottom bread. with pizza, always order a thin crust.

And you should always drink at least a glass of water before eating. It will help you fill fuller and avoid overeating too much.

Also, a good snack that can take away that craving for sweets, try Jello. It only has 10 calories per serving.

These are just a few things you can do to cut back on calories.

Another important thing to remember... Stop eating when you are satisfied, not when your plate is empty.
