Cut 250 Calories

Cut 250 Calories at Breakfast

  • Trade a reduced-fat blueberry muffin for instant oatmeal topped with 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries. Bonus: You'll stay satisfied all morning.
  • Measure out your breakfast cereal; overestimating by just 1/3 cup can add 100 calories.
  • Enjoy it with a 16-ounce chai latte with skim milk rather than a green tea latte with 2 percent.

Cut 250 Calories at Lunch

  • Pick turkey over tuna in your 6-inch sub.
  • At the salad bar, reach for shredded Parmesan instead of cheddar and skip the bread.
  • Nuke a Lean Cuisine chicken parm instead of having one delivered.

Cut 250 Calories at Dinner

  • Make your own salad dressing using low-sodium, fat-free broth in place of 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • Having fajitas? Fill up one tortilla rather than three, then eat the rest of your fixings with a fork.
  • Sub black beans for refried and hold the side of Mexican rice.
  • Order filet mignon instead of a New York strip steak.
  • Opt for broccoli chicken over sweet-and-sour, and for steamed brown rice, not fried.

Cut 250 Calories from a Snack

  • Bite into a chocolate-covered strawberry rather than a chocolate chip cookie.
  • Skip the small movie-theater popcorn and bring your own 1-ounce bag of Lay's.
  • Switch from juice to Crystal Light twice a day.
  • At the mall, curb a craving for a soft pretzel with a 100-calorie pretzel pack.

What great and awesome information. If I keep this up, in a couple of months I will have a flat stomach in no time, plus my abs will start showing up quicker the more fat I'm burning. :)
