Swapping whole milk for skim milk will do the trick when it comes to reducing calories.
Opt for a tomato-based sauce instead of a cream-based sauce.
A simple trick is to use more whites than yolks. Yolks are higher in calories.
Forget the maple syrup. All you need is a bit of fresh fruit for all the flavor and sweetness.
Fresh fruit is always a better alternative, but if you really want the canned stuff, opt for those in fruit juice and not in syrup.
This is a simple and effective way to reduce calories when you cook. Use cooking spray instead of oil, butter, or other fat spread.
Ice-cream and sorbets are delicious, but so are frozen grapes!
Opt for tuna in water instead of any oil. This will make a big difference in calories.
Red meat is very high in calories. Give chicken burgers a chance. You might like them!

Instead of two slices of regular bread, make your sandwich using wholemeal pita.
Or just make an open sandwich. That's one slice of bread you won't eat.
Light mayo has less calories than regular mayo. No surprise there, right?
Swap pork and beef for turkey. These can be equally delicious at a fraction of the calories.
Swap meat for veggies. A beef lasagna is higher in calories than a spinach one, for instance.

Fruit juice can be high in calories, so this is a way to still have a tasty drink, but with a lot less calories.
When choosing a chicken filler, always go with the grilled, skinless version.
Yes, it tastes great with butter, but you can also eat it plain. It will save you around 65 calories (assuming you usually use around two teaspoons).

Simple, right? By just reducing the size of your portions a bit, it will add up in the end, and you will surely consume a lot less calories.
Cottage cheese or fat-free cheese are good options for cheese lovers.
Salad dressings can be very high in calories. Try some balsamic vinegar for example. You'll get all the taste and virtually none of the calories.
