Many people these days want to control their
diets so they are eating low calorie foods, but
low calorie foods that still taste great. The way
to get low calorie foods that taste great is
through light calorie cooking. There are a few
tips to consider when embarking on light calorie
cooking adventures where the calories are low but
the taste is high.
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.
