<br>Hungry Girl Today: 08.07.08 
<br>
<br>WEEKLY WEIGH-IN 
<br>
<br>Wanna cut calories in HALF? YOU are in luck... 
<br> 
<br>   
<br>Filling your diet with foods that have low energy density (high water and fiber 
<br>contents) can help you eat fewer calories without even realizing it. These 
<br>foods give you larger portion sizes for fewer calories. Our good pal (and 
<br>master bar-maker!) Dr. Melina Jampolis is here with FIVE fantastic tips for 
<br>cutting calories in HALF (which means you can eat twice as much food for the 
<br>same number of calories!). Good times!  
<br>      
<br>  
<br>1. You Say Tomato...
<br>
<br>Chili is AWESOME but it can be a bit dense, and so the calories add up 
<br>quickly. If you want to add volume to chili and get more bang for your 
<br>calorie buck, mix a large can of cooked tomatoes (stewed, diced, or 
<br>chopped) with a standard-sized can of chili. And if you start out with a low-fat 
<br>veggie or turkey chili, your new chili blend will be super-low-cal! 
<br>
<br>Regular Canned Chili = 300 calories and 7g fat per cup 
<br>Chili/Tomato Blend = 150 calories and 3g fat per cup 
<br>
<br>Chili Savings - 150 calories and 4g fat per cup!   
<br>  
<br>       
<br> 
<br>2. Sassy Salsa...
<br>
<br>Everyone knows guacamole is delicious. But avocados (the main ingredient 
<br>in guac -- doy!) are super-high in fat and aren't exactly low in calories either. 
<br>Yes, we know it's good fat, but cutting some of the calories from guacamole 
<br>is still a good thing. Add 1 1/2 cups of your favorite salsa (either jarred or 
<br>fresh, but we prefer fresh!) to 1 cup of guacamole, and your new concoction 
<br>will have half the calories in each serving. Weeeeee! 
<br>
<br>Regular Guacamole = 450 calories and 39g fat per cup 
<br>Salsa/Guac Blend = 225 calories and 16.5g fat per cup 
<br>
<br>Guac Savings - 225 calories and 22.5g fat per cup!   
<br>      
<br>  
<br> 
<br>3. Mushroom Mania...
<br>
<br>Mushrooms taste good and are good for you, but did you know that they can 
<br>do wonders for lean ground meat? Simply add 1 1/2 cups of chopped 
<br>mushrooms (feel free to put whole ones in the food processor!) to 4 oz. raw 
<br>lean ground beef (or turkey) to cut calories in HALF. Use this trick to make 
<br>burgers, sloppy joes, meatloaf and MORE. 
<br>
<br>Cooked Lean Ground Beef = 200 calories and 11.5g fat per cup 
<br>Cooked Mushroom/Lean Ground Beef Blend = 100 calories and 5g fat per 
<br>cup Beef Savings - 100 calories and 6.5g fat per cup!   
<br>  
<br>       
<br>
<br>4. Veg Out...
<br>
<br>Mom always said to eat your veggies, but she should have insisted you 
<br>toss 'em into your pasta salad! Why? Because adding 1 1/4 cups of broccoli 
<br>(or another favorite vegetable) to a cup of pasta salad is yet another 
<br>fantastic way of cutting calories in half. YEE-HAA! 
<br>
<br>Pasta Salad = 380 calories and 20g fat per cup 
<br>Broccoli/Pasta Salad Blend = 190 calories and 9g fat per cup 
<br>
<br>Pasta Salad Savings - 190 calories and 11g fat per cup!  
<br>      
<br>
<br>  
<br>5. Super-Duper Celery...
<br>
<br>You can definitely save loads of calories and fat grams by making your tuna 
<br>(or chicken) salad with reduced-fat or fat-free mayo as opposed to the full-
<br>fat kind. But you can slash oodles MORE calories from your creations by 
<br>adding one heaping cup of chopped celery to each cup of tuna or chicken 
<br>salad. Don't like celery? You can achieve the same results with chopped 
<br>cucumbers. YES!!! 
<br>
<br>Reduced-Fat Tuna Salad = 320 calories and 12g fat per cup 
<br>Reduced-Fat Tuna Salad/Celery Blend = 160 calories and 6g fat per cup 
<br>
<br>Tuna Salad Savings - 160 calories and 6g fat per cup!
