25 Ways to Cut 500 Calories a Day - Health.com

Did you know that you can drop a pound a week just by cutting out 500 calories per day (based on a 150 lb woman).  That doesn't sound too hard...does it?   Here is a slide show I found with some great ways to cut 500 calories...  25 Ways to Cut 500 Calories a Day - Health.com

Another great way to cut calories is to add a can of pumpkin to a box of cake mix instead of the oil, eggs and water.  I've made them with both spice cake mix and chocolate.  You can't really taste the pumpkin in the chocolate muffins!

You can read about these muffins on my other blog (My Romantic Home). Just click on these links: Diet friendly Pumpkin Spice Muffins or Diet Friendly Chocolate Muffins.


I think I may make some of these this weekend and freeze them! Some mornings it's nice to treat yourself with a muffin with your coffee!

    Hi Cindy,

    I enjoyed your reference to the 25 ways to cut calories... I was hoping to collectively print all 25 ideas... but I can't figure that out. Oh well. Guess I'll bookmark the page, or when I feel ambitious, I'll print them one by one.

    Thanks for the inspiration. Going to check out your My Romantic Home blog. I haven't been there in a while. I need a fix.

    Hugs, PS

    I've actually done this before and I really love them. I love muffins, but I don't like them really sweet, so it's perfect for me. Thanks for reminding me. I may make some this weekend too.
