Save those calories!
I'm pulling today's Fit Tip right out of our Nutrition Together curriculum: When you control the cooking you can save LOTS of calories. For Example:
A LOADED breakfast
a three egg omelette cooked in a litte oil with cheese & bacon. Add a side of toast with butter and a glass (12oz) of orange juice.
That may not be your everyday breakfast, but it doesn't sound unreasonable does it? (it kinda sounds good to me!) We calculate it contains 950 calories! if you are trying to lose weight it is probabily more than half of what you should eat in a day.
Now consider this:
a three egg white omelette cooked in non-sitck spray with low-fat cheese and mushrooms. Add a side of toast with margarine and an orange.
Nearly the same breakfast with only 300 calories -- a savings of 650! It amazes me the power of thinking of healthy substitutions.
This is a great example of why our Nutrition Together program is helping many people gain knowledge, habits, and discipline for a healthy lifestyle. If you are not a Nutrition Together graduate, give us a call and we can discuss if this program is appropriate for you.
