Many people these days want to control
their diets so they are eating low calorie
foods, but low calorie foods that still taste
great. The way to get low calorie foods that
taste great is through light calorie cooking.
There are a few tips to consider when
embarking on light calorie cooking adventures
where the calories are low but the taste is
high.
Margarine As Opposed to Butter
When following recipes when preparing a
meal, there are many recipes that now list a
choice between using butter as an ingredient
or margarine. By using margarine in the recipe
instead of butter the cook cuts the caloric
content significantly yet still keeps a good
taste overall. It is very hard to tell the
difference between margarine and butter that
is used in cooked foods and since margarine is
lower in calories it is a great substitute.
So, the next time you are cooking and run
across a choice between butter or margarine as
an ingredient make the healthy and low calorie
choice by using margarine. The taste will
remain great and it won't affect your
waistline!
Splenda as Opposed to Sugar
Another great way in which to save on the
caloric intake is to use Splenda in one's
recipes as opposed to sugar. Splenda consists
of sucralose, which was approved for sale on
the market in the late 1990s. Not only is this
ingredient low in calories but it is great
tasting as well. Splenda is also a wonderful
ingredient to use in baked foods as it is heat
stable and there is no real loss of the
substance during cooking. For these reasons,
Splenda is a great ingredient to use when
cooking using those recipes which call for
sugar. You won't notice a difference, but you
will enjoy great foods and beverages with
considerably less calories!
These are two ways in which a
calorie-conscious individual can make
fantastic light calorie meals that are
abundant in the taste department and easy on
the waistline as well.
