How to Fit Grains and Butter into a Calories Loss Diet

by Rowena French

Breads and grains have endured a poor reputation in diet
programs of late but it has been good to see a return to
common sense where weight loss menus again accommodate
servings of these foods. Although too much of these foods
does not assist with a calories loss diet, we can eat some
bread and grain foods and still lose weight. Bread is often
best included in our menu in one sliced open or traditional
closed sandwiches or even as a low calorie snack.

You can throw some cereal on top of your yogurt to add some
fiber and crunch and make a great, fast and healthy
breakfast that has less than 300 calories by using
whole-grain, reduced sugar and bran cereals. You do not need
to buy special low calorie bread as most whole grain bread
has under100 calories per slice. Just remember, if you are
aiming for calories loss, a serving is one slice, not two.

Pita bread containing less than 200 calories is a most
versatile and suitable food to include in many meals like
snack time where it can be an alternative to high calorie
chips. Fresh pita bread with hummus and salad can become a
delicious 'wrap' for lunch. Brown rice with vegetables and a
chicken breast either steamed or stir fried in a wok is a
healthy low calorie dinner at any time of the year.

Oatmeal is a great filling food for breakfast and has lots
of fiber that will help you feel full throughout the day. At
lunch or dinner, eat pasta sparingly, and look for whole
grain pasta, but do keep some around for a quick meal.
Remember to eat more of an accompanying salad than pasta
when you want the benefits of calories loss.

Potato chips are high in calories and should be replaced by
other healthier alternatives like whole grain crackers and
cheese. These, along with rice cakes, one of the best diet
snack foods, can increase your calories loss when they take
the pace of salty, fatty, high calorie chips. If rice cakes
seem too bland, add tasty low calorie toppings.

It is a little bit tricky to keep dairy items on hand
because they expire, but some staple dairy foods should
always be in the refrigerator. Include in your collection,
low calorie margarine, 2% milk, the best to keep on hand and
low calorie cheese that can add plenty of flavor to meals
and yogurt. Yogurts and string cheese are tasty, portable,
healthy snacks and ensure a far greater calories loss than
chips or milkshakes.

Yogurts are fabulous for those following a low calorie diet.
Individually portioned and low in calories, they are sweet,
great sources of calcium and the perfect size for a snack
usually containing less than 200 calories. When the grocery
store has a sale on yogurt, stock up.

Some grain food and dairy food can be frozen and along with
other frozen foods contribute to a calories loss diet across
the length of your weight loss program. Pre cooked and
frozen meals are a fabulous way to provide a meal at work,
especially since you are aware of the calories they contain.
Frozen vegetables can be added to any meal in ways that
provide interest and flavour and frozen fruit in unsweetened
juice is great for a smoothie or a dessert served with low
calorie frozen yogurt.
