Looking for ideas for tasty(ish) lower calorie substitutes

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

I have a half a stone to lose which might not be a lot but it's usually not that easy to shift. I have my gym programme and I'm not looking for any drastic diets.however I know from experience that small changes to my diet made a lot of difference in a not so long run.

Today I fancied some dips and I picked some hummus and sour cream. I looked again at the shelf to see tzatziki and lo and behold they had half calories less than the sour cream. What other substitutes can you recommend?

Hmmm, I can see my title hasn't inspired anyone.

well, I've got you on watch, but since I have no ideas, hence my lardy arse.
However I now have the motivation: almost certain to have an interview coming up (I'll be annoyed if they block who put the job advert on my desk and said "apply" doesn't interview me!), and I have the choice of dropping a dress size, or buying a suit.

I'm thinking a handful of cereal as a snack. But then I've a sweet tooth, and it sounds like your more a savoury type?

Rice cakes instead of crisps

Tesco Light Choices crisps or Cassava crackers instead of crisps

Tesco Light Choices salad dressing instead of non-low calorie dressing

Quorn mince instead of minced beef

Ski fruit mousse instead of high calorie yoghurts

Farmhouse brown bread instead of white bread

Low Low mature cheese spread instead of cheese

Prawns instead of loads of meat stuff

Ricotta instead of other cheeses

These are the substitutions that I've made over the past three weeks and I've lost 5 lbs so far!

Best of luck on your diet :)

Oooh, answers! Just as I was ready to flounce off to Chat.

Thank you both, they all sound like a great idea. I do indeed have a savoury tooth, although all tips are mentally noted (sic!).

Good luck with your interview nextphase!
