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…
Save 100 calories at Breakfast:
- 3 strips Canadian bacon vs. regular bacon (100)
- 2 links “light” sausage vs. regular (80)
- Nonstick spray instead of 1 T. butter for making eggs (100)
- Scoop deli bagel (removing 1/3 of inside bread) (100)
- 4 egg whites instead of 2 eggs (100)
- Veggie omelet instead of 2 oz cheese (150)
- Egg on english muffin instead of egg on roll (100)
- Homemade parfait: 6 oz nonfat yogurt, 1/2 cup berries, 1/2 cup Fiber One (about 180 cal) instead of premade parfait (from Starbucks 350 cal) (160)
- 1/2 cup Fiber One vs. granola on yogurt (180)
- 1 cup Kashi Go Lean instead of Basic 4 or Oatmeal Crisp (100)
- Top pancakes or waffles w/ fresh fruit vs. syrup (150)
- Omit the tablespoon of butter on pancakes or waffles (100+)















Of course, Daniel doesn’t show for his signature “Ass on Fire” workout. It is a true butt burn. Great job everyone!
I need some input on Serenbe, ’cause even Mary said that the 15K was the toughest route she’d ever run. 5K or 15K? Speak to me…
(I guess I can ditch the ‘Boy’ moniker now that Girl Jamie has gone MIA.)
Everyone did great today. 25 minutes of Ass Fire can be tough. I think everyone was at least working on the 4th round.
Jamey, I ran the Serenbe 15k 2 years ago (I had a conflict last year, and again this year). I didn’t think it was too bad, and I actually really enjoyed it. It is a trail race, so hills are to be expected, as is a slower pace. I know several people ran it last year, so maybe they can chime in as well.
Sorry to have missed today’s workout. It’s one of my faves.
Had to comment on today’s blog post because I recently started tracking my food again with the Livestrong app and this is so true. The little things really do add up so fast. If you’re keeping a food journal, it’s so important to write down all the little things. For me it’s things like skim milk vs coffee creamer, saying no to cheese, and resisting the candy bowls at work.
Jamey — There were a bunch of BC4Cers at the race last year. It was fun! I did the 5K and had a blast, but was thinking I’d go for the 15K if I was to do it again. Daniel, Robin, Brandon, Graham, and few others did the 15K last year. From what I remember, it was a challenge, but they all lived to tell about it! They also award really cool handmade medals from the local blacksmith if you place.
M.E.
what are you doing march 3?

Nothing like a little A$$ Fire to kick off the week! Great job by all. Enjoyed working out by Lynn, Spooner, Ty, Julie, Jorji.…..this is one of my favorite workouts as well.
Serenbe Race deals for BC4C, let me know if you have questions:
coupon code = “hc5kteam”. This code is for $10 off, and is effective August 1st, when the price increases on active.com. So, your group will still only pay $20/ea. for the 5k if using this second code.
FOR THE 15K,
coupon code 2 = “hc15kteam”. This code is for $10 off, and is effective August 1st, when the price increases on active.com to $40. So, your group will still only pay $30/ea. for the 15k if using this second code.
See you in the morning! My email is susan@bc4c.com is you have questions about the race.
1. I don’t need to do “Ass-fire” my ass is fantastic.
2. I loved/hated the Serenbe 15K. I will be doing it again but, this year, I will plan a few rest days after. It’s tough because there is a lot of side to side movement and dodging people, holes, and trees. It’s awesome because it’s a fantastic course with great views and a great race team. I suggest everyone in the super speedies try the 15K you won’t regret it.
Kate: That race looks like a blast. Count me in!
Re: Serenbe — I set up a team for us, if you want to register under that name, here’s the link:
http://www.active.com/teams/index.cfm
Or if you want to go straight to registration, here’s the link and the team name is BC4C Speedies:

As far as the team goes, doesn’t matter if you’re running the 5 or 15k, we can all be on the same team.
First, the Zombie 5k looks awesome!
Second, please join me tomorrow (Wednesday) or an optional run day. It will not be anything awful or crazy. There is a 30% chance of light rain but it will be about 60 degrees. Who’s in?
I’m in Kathleen! See you tomorrow morning.
Dang. Today’s crowd just flat left everything out there.
Jamey, Seth, Brandon, Bridgette, Alisa, Yomi .. did you want to puke much as I did? Leigh .. catching you seems so far beyond my reach.. ahh .. someday.
That was fun to be a part of. Nice job everyone.
Andy .. thanks for the pressure .. I can always use some of that especially after yesterday’s calculated SB
Yes great job everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That one always makes me need to see Dr T afterwards, it tears my IT to hell and back.
Those damn Mary Katherine’s I hate that B!@@#$%!
Thanks everyone ahead of me for the extra push!!!!
