Foods that will help you lose calories

We’ll show you how to swap some of the foods you normally eat for similar options that add fewer calories to your diet.

If you’re eating healthy and working out a lot but still can’t lose those extra calories that turn into stubborn weight, here’s the solution.

Breakfast:

• Eat a fresh orange instead of drinking orange juice.
• Swap pork sausages for turkey sausages.
• If you like eggs, choose only the egg whites.
• If you love having yogurt in the morning, try to make it natural/plain.

Lunch:

• Don’t add bread croutons to your salads.
• Avoid beef burgers and go for turkey burgers instead.
• Vegetable soup is better than any cream-based soup with milk or cheese.
• Choose baked potatoes instead of mashed potatoes.
• Try not to eat breaded or battered foods.
• Remember that bread and flour-based products are high in calories and absorb a lot of oil.

Desserts

• Choose a water-based ice pop instead of dairy ice cream; it’s also better in a cup than in a cone.
• You can have some gelatin.
• If you want something more filling, choose a plain brownie instead of a packaged pastry.

Dinner:

• Swap meat for a tasty bowl of cereal.
• Drink plenty of water instead of juices or soda.
• Avoid canned fruits in syrup—fresh fruit is always better.
• If you suddenly feel like snacking, or you’re at a party at night, grab a handful of pretzels instead of potato chips.
