Healthy Food Swaps

Hey guys, I haven’t updated in a while, sorry about that. I am back in the game now. I am still losing weight though. I have lost 33 pounds total now!! How about you all? Anyone following all the great advice I am giving and losing some weight? I thought we would talk about swapping. Here are some foods you can swap out to save calories.

Corn Flakes- While these are good, Bran flakes with raisins are much better for you. Bran is where your fiber comes from, and you need your fiber.

Raisin Bagel- We all know bagels are fast in the morning. So you don’t have to stop eating bagels on your way to work. Skip your raisin bagel and purchase mini bagels. You can eat two mini bagels per one regular bagel and save around 150 calories.

French Toast Sticks- Trade 4 of your sticks in for 2 whole wheat, or even whole grain waffles and you will save around 200 calories along with adding more fiber into your diet.

Corned Beef Sandwich- Try eating a ham or turkey sandwich instead. Corned beef is full of fat, and it’s not the good fat that your body needs.

Vegetable Soup- I know, you thought eating vegetable soup was good. It is good for you, but if you trade that in for split pea soup you will gain 10 more grams of protein.

Bread and Butter- How many of you love bread and butter with your dinner? My grandparents eat bread and butter every night with every dinner. If you are like them, why not swap it for baguette with vinegar and oil. If that’s not your style then switch to light wheat bread and use margarine instead of butter.


Hope these ideas have helped a few of you.
