The holidays are here which means plenty of baking and cooking all around! To help ease your sudden weight gains from eating all these delicious foods you'll be making for friends and family, try these tips I found by Maddie Rudd:
Baking
- 1 cup whole milk = 1 cup skim milk
- 1 cup buttermilk = 1 Tbsp vinegar OR 1 Tbsp lemon juice + enough skim milk to make 1 cup
- 1 cup heavy cream = 1 cup evaporated skim milk OR 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt + 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup sour cream = 1 can chilled evaporated skim milk whipped with 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup cream cheese = 4 Tbsp margarine + 1 cup dry low-fat cottage cheese (+ a little skim milk if needed)
- 1 cup butter or oil = 2/3 cup applesauce
- 1 egg = 2 eggwhites
Cooking and Snacking
- Use chicken broth to stir-fry instead of oil.
- In place of butter, use non-fat cooking spray to brown.
- Baste roasts with wine or fruit juice.
- Replace bacon with turkey bacon.
- Make sure to use extra lean ground beef for burgers and meatballs, or substitute ground turkey.
- You can get the same taste with less cheese if you get the 2% extra sharp cheddar instead of mild.
- No-Sugar-Added fruit spreads taste more fruity than jam, and are plenty sweet.
- Get tuna packed in water.
- Canned fruits should be packed in fruit juice instead of heavy syrup.
