It is commonly known that high-calorie foods tend to cost less than lower-calorie items at the grocery store. If you look at canned soup, meat, pasta and etc., the items that are better for you are almost always more expensive (aside from fruits and veggies). When faced with choosing between two items, one low calorie and the other low cost, I typically chose the one low in calories — though Read more

My good friend Yum recently paid a visit to the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco and she brought me some great low calorie products to try and pass on the cream of the crop to you. I must say that in many cases I was less than thrilled with the tastelessness of this year's low calories buzz.

You may not know it, but many drinks can be a fattening fright. Calories from cocktails don't fill you up like calories from food. And after 1 or 2 drinks, you may be more likely to say yes to that chocolate fudge brownie sundae. Here's Read more

When fat is taken out of a food it is usually replaced with sugar, and sugar is not low in calories (or carbs for that matter).
