Counting Calories In Fats/Oils/Salad Dressings
Written by Diet Bites
|
|
Fats, Oils and Salad Dressings are one of the most crucial areas of your diet.
Most are nothing more than globs of tasty fat.
The good thing is that most people don't dump a cup of butter on their veggies or bread because a little goes a long way. But it's that 'little' that costs you so many hefty calories in your diet.
When possible, opt for the non-stick cooking sprays for cooking purposes. Most are available in all sorts of flavors - from butter to herb.
Rather than dot your potato with real butter or margarine, try using the no calories refrigerated butter sprays and use them generously.
Some people actually prefer the taste of the no calorie sprays more than they do the 'real' thing.
