I've grown acustomed to egg beaters, lowfat/fatfree salad dressing, pam, I can't believe it's not butter light (or spray), splenda instead of sugar. hmmm . . . I can't think of anything else - oh- substituting chicken or turkey chopped meat for beef.

I am using vinagers instead of bottled dressing (I have been making a salad using balsamic vinager, salt, pepper and a cut up orange).

I have been making two veggies with dinner instead of always making potato or rice with it, so that cuts calories big time!!

When a receipe calls for ricotta cheese, I use part skim and mix in cottage cheese, everyone wonders why it tastes so creamy!!!

I also cut carbs at dinner. We used to have a meat, veggie and rice and we cut the rice. I also use Splenda in everything.
