Milk
1 Cup of whole fat milk contains 8 grams fat and 150 calories
1 Cup of skimmed milk contains almost zero fat and 90 calories
So by switching to skimmed milk, 7 days a week, you can reduce your annual calorie intake by 21,900 calories. (The equivalent of 6.25 pounds in weight.)
Remember
Weight loss and dieting doesn't mean eating less - just different.

Worst Calorie Choices
For difficult weight loss
Please note: all calorie values are approximate. |

There are very few high calorie cereals. Generally, cereal is a relatively low calorie option. However, the type of milk you add to your cereal WILL make a difference, (see above). The healthiest cereals are wholegrain, bran or fiber-fortified varieties. Sugar-coated or candy-coated varieties are less healthy and best avoided. |
