So, I just thought I would share one of my favorite healthy eating tip websites -
I love this website because it gives you healthy makeovers of unhealthy foods - so you still feel like you are indulging but you are saving calories - yay!
Check out their recipes and, if you like it, sign up for their regular emails for healthy food updates and more recipes!
Here are the tips for this week (I agree with all of them except the Splenda substitute - although it does have fewer calories, it is a modified molecule of sugar that has not been around long enough to determine its long term side effects on your health and many studies say it is bad - remember they used to praise Nutrasweet/Equal/Etc but that has now been linked to cancer - so beware of Splenda!)
HUNGRY GIRL'S TOP ATE Calorie-Saving Cooking Swaps!
1. Nonstick cooking spray instead of oil (for stovetop cooking)
2. Canned pumpkin instead of eggs & oil (for baking)
3. Light vanilla soymilk instead of milk or cream
4. Fat-free liquid egg substitute instead of eggs
5. No-sugar-added applesauce instead of butter
6. Ground-beef-style soy crumbles instead of ground beef
7. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granular) instead of sugar
8. Butternut squash instead of potatoes

I think you shared info about Hungry Girl in one of your updates before and I signed up for the emails. I use her recipes all the time! I have heard bad things about Splenda too. If only there was a perfect sugar substitute. Thanks so much for sharing!
