📝Living the Good Life – Lighten Up/Cut 100 Calories a Day & Healthy Snacks
This week give up, swap or cut back on a food or beverage to reduce your daily calorie intake by 100 calories. For instance your coffee - choose milk not cream, or skip the sugar, don't add butter to your bread - use mustard instead of mayo, make an open faced sandwich with just one slice of bread, apple slices instead of French fries, etc. Ideally you find one thing to swap, cut back on or eliminate, to reduce your daily calorie intake PERMANENTLY. Find creative hacks to prepare a favorite foods, or simply cut out the sodas or lattes. Make a healthy change to your daily food and beverages. Cutting 100 calories a day for 35 days, you could lose 1 pound (3,500 calories), in one year that is 10 pounds! Basically, you could cut 100 calories from your daily diet and not really miss it.
Example swap 2 bread and butter (toast) for a Bread Thin with no butter. This saves 177 calories each time you have '2 pieces of bread'.
example of 100 calories or more
1 tbsp butter 107 calories
coffee cream 3 tbsp 100 calories
soda 170 calories
slice of whole wheat bread 100 calories
can of coors light beer 102 calories
4 oz red wine 100 calories
