Tips that reduce calories
Applesauce is a fat substitute
In a baking recipe, use applesauce in place of 1/2 the fat to create a low-fat baking recipe.
Apricot puree is a fat substitute
Use apricot puree in baking recipes in place of half the oil or other fat. It reduces fat and adds a touch of flavor.
Don't put butter on your corn
Instead, try a light salad dressing, or fresh herbs, or lemon juice.
Focus your entrée on vegetables
Select a vegetable main dish, and add other foods to complement.
Include green salad with dinner
Add a salad to your dinner every night.
Munch on carrots
They make a great snack and finger food. Carry them with you for a quick bite on the go. They contain beta carotenes, an antioxidant.
Remove the chicken skin
It's OK to leave the chicken skin on for cooking, but before eating, remove the skin to cut in half the fat content of the meat.
Use fig puree instead of fat
Replace 1/2 the shortening or margarine with fig puree to make a low-fat recipe.
