Research proves that tracking your food can help you lose weight. Doing exactly that is free and easy with SparkPeople.com's Nutrition Tracker. Here's an intro of how to track your food, calories and nutrients to lose weight or eat healthier!
Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.
This recipe only costs about $3.50 to make--but you save money by buying sheets of phyllo dough and making your own tart shells.
100-calorie snack packs are popular for their portion control. But do they keep you full? Find out, plus get more 100-calorie snack ideas that are even more nutritious--and filling!
Try a two for one: The next time you are turning on the oven to 375 degrees, roast the squash, cool it slightly, peel and package to freeze. You'll have butternut squash on hand whenever you need it, and you can have dinner on the table in no time!
After you've roasted a chicken or turkey, don't throw away the bones. They can be used to make homemade, low-sodium stocks, which can add flavor to your healthy, home-cooked meals. Homemade chicken stock costs about $2.50 a gallon, but a small can at the store can cost about a dollar. You're really saving money with this recipe.
