Cutting calories

Its easy, in theory, but eating less when you are legitimately hungry takes a lot of will power. Or does it?

Here are 9 ways to cut calories without even noticing:

Cheese

Eat the cheese, but only if you can taste it. A lot of people will add fatty cheese, or stuff like mayo and, or even healthy avocado to foods out of habit or “for moisture” to sandwiches and burgers, but if you cant taste it, you’re adding hundreds of calories for no reason. Use tomatoes and healthier condiments, like zero calorie mustard, for moisture. If cheese is a main player you can actually enjoy it, go for it, but if you cant taste it among the rest of the flavors of your meal, skip it.

Pizza

Your grandma’s not crazy, blotting your pizza really does soak up extra oil and calories. Your pizza is just as yummy when grease isn’t dripping down your forearm and you can save around 4.5 grams of fat and 40 calories per slice.

One Last Bite

Always leave one bite of food on your plate. The last few bites are always the worst any way (dry crust, blech) so quit the clean plate club and make a habit of leaving the last bite of food on your plate. Over time, youll save hundreds of calories and always end your meal on a high note.

T.V.

Dont eat in front of the TV. Eating while distracted interrupts the signals that signal you are full, resulting in eating extra calories without noticing. Eat mindfully and eat less without sacrificing satiety.

Oils

Put your olive oil in a spray bottle. Spray pans to coat before cooking instead of pouring the oil right in and youll save hundreds of calories while still preventing your food from sticking.

Switch Hit

Eat with your non-dominant hand. Itll slow you down, so your body has a chance to tell you its full, and itll be so frustrating, you wont want to take any extra bites.

Dip It!

Always dip your salad into your dressing instead of pouring the dressing on your salad. You want a taste of dressing with every bite, and youll still get it, youll just avoid any extra coming along with it.
