EASY REPLACEMENTS I
The Mayo Mustard Conundrum Solved
Hopefully you are here because you are thinking about your nutrition or want to lose a little weight.
Let me share with you a few easy things that you can do to lower your caloric intake each day without substantially limiting the amount of food that you can eat.
1. Get Rid of the Mayo
Ok, you don't technically have to get rid of the mayo if you are counting your calories and everything is going ok, but it's one of the easiest replacements I know of that will make the biggest difference in your calorie bottom line. If adding fat free mayo helps you, then go ahead and add it, but to me the real difference came with flavor and that's where mustard comes in.
Funny, I wasn't a fan of mustard before my lifechange started but now that I've replaced mayonnaise with it, I've become quite fond of it. Oh and the best part?
Replace it with Mustard!
Mustard is virtually calorie free at about 3 calories per serving! Go ahead and replace it, and fill good about it. Give it all you can mustard! (HAHA yes, I know Punny, but at least now the conundrum is solved.)
