How to Save 100 Calories at Meals

3 / 7

by Heather Dale 1

Brunch

Have a smoothie made with fruit, nonfat yogurt, and ice, and skip the milk shake.
Eat smaller portions since many brunches offer buffet options, and it can be tempting to fill your plate. And choose lots of veggies and fruit since they are low in calories and will fill you up!
Instead of calorie-filled egg dishes covered with rich sauces, why not get an omelet (or even one made from just the whites) and spruce it up with some veggies instead of calorie-dense bacon or cheese?
If you reach for a caffeinated beverage to go with your meal, make it an unsweetened tea instead of a Coke.
