1. Next time you order a salad, try switching from
"grilled chicken" to "blackened chicken." At most places,
this will trim down your meal by several hundred calories, especially if the
dressing is "on the side" as opposed to on the salad.
2. Ice cream is often one of the first things to go on a
diet. By switching ice cream flavors--even within the same delicious brand--you
can save yourself hundreds of calories next time you snack. Remember to watch
your portions.
3. Burger King offers their dieters a smaller box of chicken
tenders. This has 580 fewer calories than the Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich. Be
careful though, this is not including toppings and sauces.
4. Next time you go out for ice cream, consider getting soft
serve, rather than a malt. You could save as much as 700 calories! This is not
including any toppings, and the toppings will then add more calories to the
treat.
5. The buttermilk pancakes at Denny's could also save you
more than 800 calories when you pick them over some of the other breakfast
alternatives, such as the French toast. This is again without toppings,
including butter, syrup or jams.
6. When getting pancakes or French toast, consider getting
sugar free jam to go on the meal instead of syrup and butter. This will help to
reduce the calories significantly.
7. Starbuck's Coffee is too good to give up, so instead
switch the milk from whole milk to skim and eliminate the whipped cream. Ask
for the sugar free syrups instead of the sugary syrups.
8. Subway is overall healthy, but it can be made more
healthy by switching the bread from Italian Herbs and Cheese to Flat Bread.
9. Taco Bell is rarely healthy, but by ordering the meal
Fresco style. This means the cheese and sauces on the meal are cut out, but the
meat and flavor is still there. Tomatoes and seasoning are still available with
this style.
10. Olive Garden's Italian foods can be made healthier by
switching from boring Spaghetti and Meatballs for Linguine al Marinara for a
total savings of 710 calories.
These different foods do not cause you to sacrifice flavor,
but rather opens you up to a whole host of different, healthy foods. Hopefully
this will help you stick to your weight loss goals and be healthier. Enjoy your
time eating out with friends and family while not feeling guilty about your
weight loss program.
