“Healthy Swaps” was published in the January Issue of Runner’s World.- Snack substitutions to cut 100 calories from your daily diet -
Instead of Bagel with 2 oz. cream cheese (490 calories)
Choose Whole-wheat English muffin with 2 tablespoons peanut butter and half a banana (390 calories)
Instead of 2 cookies (360 calories)
Choose 1 oz. dark chocolate chips, 1/2 oz. almonds, and 1 oz. dried cherries (200 calories)
Instead of 16-oz. fruit smoothie (266 calories)
Choose 1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt and 1 cup blueberries (160 calories)
Instead of 10 pretzels (227 calories)
Choose 15 baby carrots with 2 tablespoons hummus (105 calories)
And, for you weekend celebrators, I’ve added a couple more options:
Instead of regular/stuffed crust pizza
Choose thin crust pizza
Instead of 2 regular beers
Choose 2 light beers
Instead of Chips
Choose 1 cup air-popped popcorn
If nothing else, it’s always a good idea to live by the motto: Everything in moderation!
