To lose ONE pound, we need a 3500 calorie deficit. If you cut just 100 calories/day, you can lose 10 pounds in a year! Here are some creative ideas on how you can cut 100 calories from your happy hour. Just think, if you find a way to cut 100 calories 3 times a day, you could be 30 pounds lighter by the end of the year! If you missed the earlier posts in the "100 calorie" series, scroll down for the breakfast and lunch editions.
- Nurse a single glass of wine instead of downing 2 beers.
- Ask for your rum and cokes in a highball glass. Bartenders pour an average of 20 percent less liquid into taller tumblers, so you'll swig less per round.
- Drizzle extra hot sauce, not blue cheese or ranch dressing, on your wings.
- Ordering a cocktail? Make it on the rocks instead of frozen. Slushy fruit drinks tend to be made with bottled mixers that contain added sugar and syrups.
- Blending your own? Have a daiquiri, not a piña colada.
- Pop the cap off of an MGD 64 instead of a bottle of Killian's Irish Red.
- Sip a glass of water between drinks—pacing yourself can help you cut back by a glass or more.
- Dip your nachos in salsa rather than guacamole.
- For automatic portion control, sip wine from a Champagne flute, not an oversize goblet.
