Margarine As Opposed to Butter
When following recipes when
preparing a meal, there are many recipes that now list a choice between
using butter as an ingredient or margarine. By using margarine in the
recipe instead of butter the cook cuts the caloric content
significantly yet still keeps a good taste overall. It is very hard to
tell the difference between margarine and butter that is used in cooked
foods and since margarine is lower in calories it is a great
substitute. So, the next time you are cooking and run across a choice
between butter or margarine as an ingredient make the healthy and low
calorie choice by using margarine. The taste will remain great and it
won't affect your waistline!
Splenda as Opposed to Sugar
Another great way in which to
save on the caloric intake is to use Splenda in one's recipes as
opposed to sugar. Splenda consists of sucralose, which was approved for
sale on the market in the late 1990s. Not only is this ingredient low
in calories but it is great tasting as well. Splenda is also a
wonderful ingredient to use in baked foods as it is heat stable and
there is no real loss of the substance during cooking. For these
reasons, Splenda is a great ingredient to use when cooking using those
recipes which call for sugar. You won't notice a difference, but you
will enjoy great foods and beverages with considerably less calories!
These are two ways in which a
calorie-conscious individual can make fantastic light calorie meals
that are abundant in the taste department and easy on the waistline as
well.
