    Opt for turkey-based meats for less fat and less calories.

    I.E.: Turkey Bacon, Turkey Kielbasa, Turkey sausage, etc...

    Try using a lower fat milk in boxed meals like 1% of non fat! You can even use plain soy in most recipies!

    Brummel & Brown Yogurt butter instead of real butter - yum!

    I do the same thing! I also like using olive oil in place of butter (for health reasons, not so much for calories).

    If I drink, I almost always mix the alcohol with a flavored water like Crystal Light.
