What would it take to burn off a heaping plate of Nachos? To burn it off, you’ll have to:
Next time, make it healthier: CHIPS Bake your own tortilla chips to cut calories and fat. Spray 100% corn tortillas with nonstick cooking spray; sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper; and bake in a 400°F oven for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden. Then break into pieces. No time to DIY? Look for baked chips or ones with just a few ingredients like ground corn, oil and salt. Many of these are higher in fiber, which will keep you fuller longer. Save: 92 Calories! CHEESE Go with 2% shredded cheese instead of regular. Don’t worry, your taste buds won’t know the difference. Save: 300 calories! CHILI Use black beans, not chili. This cuts the fat, saturated fat and calories while keeping the protein and adding fiber. Save: 40 calories! SOUR CREAM Use nonfat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. You’ll get the same creamy texture for fewer calories plus extra protein. Save: 270 calories! Total calories saved: 702!
