Need something sweet while eating out? Making smart choices can help you save BIG. Here's proof . . .
Strawberry Shortcake vs. Berries and Cream
FIGHT IT!
Strawberry Shortcake can easily contain 600+ calories and 25+ grams of fat.
BITE IT!
Opt for a bowl of berries and a little whipped cream, and you'll typically take in under 120 calories and WAY less fat. This simple switch saves you about 500 calories!
Ice Cream Sundae vs. Fruit Sorbet
FIGHT IT!
Need something sweet and chilly? Polish off an ice cream sundae and you'll have swallowed 550 calories and 25 grams of fat.
BITE IT!
Get your hands on some fruit sorbet instead. If you eat a cup of sorbet, it will likely contain only about 250 calories and no fat.
Chocolate Cream Pie vs. Hot Cocoa
FIGHT IT!
That slice of chocolate cream pie looks delicious, but is it worth 500 to 600 calories and 30 grams of fat?!
BITE IT!
Get your chocolate fix with a hot cocoa. Even if it is made with whole milk, you'll save more than 300 calories and 20 grams of fat!
