Losing weight requires a commitment to trimming calories each and every day for most people. Don’t sweat it with these tips below that will have you slashing calories in no time.

Try Salsa on Your Salad instead of Dressing: Salsa provides a lot of flavor with minimal calories. If you are eating out, this can save hundreds of calories. You might not even miss the dressing….

Go Bread-less for a Meal: You can easily try your burger wrapped in lettuce with your favorite sauce instead of a high-calorie bun.  This is a great way to eat more greens too!

Trim Your Portions: Try ¾ cup of oatmeal in the morning instead of 1 ½ cups and save nearly 100 calories.

Skip the Chips for Dip, Use Veggies Instead:  Instead of 1 oz of tortilla chips try 1 cup of celery for a savings of 125 calories.

Save your Steak: Most restaurants don’t serve anything smaller than a 6 ounce steak. Try taking half of it home and slice and top on a salad for lunch tomorrow.

Choose Thin Crust for Pizza:  Ordering thin crust over thick saves over 100 calories per slice and for ultimate savings don’t forget to load with veggies and go light on the cheese.

Make losing weight a little easier with swapping healthy ingredients in to your daily menu to slash calories without sacrificing flavor.
