lo-cal

Just a few quick ways to keep your calories on the down-low:

Forget the salad dressings, use redwine vinegar with salsa instead, or just salsa - it gives your salad the wetness your palate is used to, adds a little flavor (or alot depending on the salsa) and it's REALLY low in calories.

Swap your soda for some mineral water. Add some fresh fruit, strawberries, blueberries, apples, kiwis, or just a lemon wedge. The water is refreshing kept really cold in the fridge and the fruit is a treat at the end.

Add mineral water to your wine. This accomplishes two things. 1. It reduces the amount of wine you drink, thus lowering your calorie intake. 2. mineral water has lots of nutritional value. Also, it doesn't affect the flavor of your wine - I promise!

NEVER butter your bread. Really you won't miss it.

Reach for mustard instead of mayo or ketchup - it's lower in calories and you can get some really yummy deli mustard that add lots of flavor to your sammich.

over and out!
