Smart Swaps that Save Calories

In the mood for a crunchy snack? Swap an ounce of Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips for two cups of air-popped popcorn to save 78 calories.

Instead of splitting a Chili's Awesome Blossom and sauce with three friends, snack on one medium order of Burger King onion rings to save 357 calories.

Swap a cup of strawberry ice cream for a Yoplait Whips, Strawberry Mist flavor, to save 114 calories.

Chicken isn't always the best choice when it comes to saving calories. Swap a Wendy's Chicken Club Sandwich for a Jr. Cheeseburger to save 300 calories.

Swap a 1.7-oz. package of M&M's Plain Chocolate candies for a half cup of Kozy Shack Real Chocolate pudding to get a chocolate fix while saving almost 100 calories.

It's not a fiesta for your waistline if you order Applebee's Fiesta Lime Chicken. Swap it for a Tortilla Chicken Melt from the appetizer menu to save a whopping 805 calories.

Swap a Wendy's Garden Sensations Southwest Taco Salad for a Garden Sensations Caesar Chicken Salad and save 250 calories.

Take your own treat to the mall. Swap one Mrs. Field's semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie for 13 (yes, 13!) Miss Meringue Chocolate Chip Minis to save 170 calories.

Chicken is a great salad topper, but fried or crispy chicken ups the fat and calories. For example, at Burger King, if you swap a Tendercrisp Garden Salad for a Tendergrill Garden Salad, you will save 180 calories.
