Save 100 Calories: Breakfast

Mak­ing small changes in your diet can save you calo­ries in small places where you won’t taste the dif­fer­ence but your body will know the dif­fer­ence. Eat­ing 100 less calo­ries a day (or 100 more calo­ries a day) adds up to about 10 pounds in a year. So 200 calo­ries less = 20 pounds, 300 calo­ries less = 30 pounds, etc. – small changes add up!

We are post­ing a series of arti­cles that will pro­vide you with tips on sav­ing 100 calo­ries at every meal, includ­ing snacks — start­ing with breakfast…
