Cut 500 Calories a Day Without Dieting | Tips to cut 500 calories a day

I use blended low fat cottage cheese to replace mayo. Adds more protein and tastes great to me. I use it in potato salad, egg salad, etc. I also use it with mashed or baked potato instead of butter.

[@MamaTenny]

What a fantastic swap Rachel, I love it! ❤

I really enjoy learning all the tips on how you keep your healthy slim self, so that I might try to do the same. Thanks !

[@thefitnessfoodfairy3389]

Facts! It's always the sneaky calories that add up- but there's always a healthy swap and just being overall mindful and aware makes the difference 😊🤍💪🏻

[@MamaTenny]

My thoughts exactly! Thank you, and Happy New Year!🎊🎆❤️

Another trick, if you really need your KD fix, is to replace both the butter & milk with 1C of 2% cottage cheese. Blend the cottage cheese, cheese powder, 1-2TB water & some spices (S&P, garlic powder, etc.). You may need to scrape down the sides, but within a minute you have a very creamy cheese sauce, with ~200 less calories, per half box and with higher protein. 😋

[@MamaTenny]

Oh boy Christine, I’ll pass that on to my husband and young daughter, they are the KD fiends!!! That does sound like you’ve really kicked it up a notch! Thank you! 😍

Love the fitness and dieting tips, but I’m really here to see your fabulous jewelry ❤😂

First of all, can I tell you pink is your color? You are glowing! Love your hacks. I think juice is the devil and don't know how people got conned into drinking that liquid sugar. Love your bernaise sauce shortcut!

[@davidw.3770]

I love your content! So interesting and helpful. Especially the tip with the butter, because we normally eat a lot of this at home. Greetings from Germany!👋🙂

[@13ritneyanne]

I could use that much mayo EASILY. I get the light mayo and it's half the calories. !

So true Mama Tenny 🤗 I'm lucky that I dislike mayo so I usually just use lemon or lime juice and mustard to flavour sandwich spreads. Specialty coffees can really add up too. A lot of the young folks I work with are addicted to these fancy coffees and don't realize that they are so high in calories. I have trained myself to enjoy black coffee. I have eliminated the use of oil in almost all of my cooking now and I don't miss it one bit. I also don't eat nuts because we have a fatal food allergy here at our house. To be honest I don't miss these one bit! I still get plenty of healthy fats by eating 1/4 to 1/2 an avocado a day and also by adding ground flax to my oatmeal and salads. You can save 100's of calories a day by eliminating oil. I love you in this pink blouse Nancy this colour really suits you 🥰

[@MamaTenny]

Thank you!🩷 I’m with you on the no love lost on mayo!😂 And so true on retraining ourselves to like something different than we’re used to!👍🏼

[@ulrikep.]

You make it all sound super easy! And it actually is easy, you just need to eat more consciously or shop consciously beforehand. I love bread... in Austria there are so many good varieties, but bread has a lot of calories. A dark, freshly baked black bread with butter and a soft-boiled egg and maybe some crispy bacon is sooo delicious, but not for every day! You have already eaten the calories for a whole day with this breakfast 🤣I had to google "KD"... it doesn't look very appetizing, so I can't be tempted. I prefer hummus as spread, avocado or curd cheese. I especially like these types of videos 👍

[@MamaTenny]

Believe me, you have not missed a thing with KD, it’s gross! My husband and my youngest daughter love it and I don’t know how! Now, the freshly baked black bread… that sounds fabulous! 😋

[@HighTideSoaps]

I love a baked potato with Greek yogurt on top! These are great tips to cut out calories that are very sneaky.

[@MamaTenny]

Oh, I’m very sneaky 🤣

Right?? 🤣😂

Hey Mama Tenny, I struggle with staying on the right path, how do you stay consistent with your eating habits? Has it ever happened to you that you go to a party and let loose a bit too much and the next days you just can't stick to your healthy routine?

[@MamaTenny]

Hi Ines! Of course that happens, that’s life!! We can’t be crazy strict with unrealistic diets! If you’ve been able to develop healthy habits that you adhere to and enjoy regularly, then just go back to normal the next day. Don’t try to cut back to overcompensate, just carry on! The good daily habits are vital to maintain a consistent weight. ❤️ Happy New Year!

[@slayxyourxday]

I was worried you were going to say to drink black coffee 😂

[@MamaTenny]

I didn’t say it 🤣🫣 Glad I’m a tea drinker! Warned myself off the sugar when I was in high school! There was nothing my family didn’t add butter and sugar to! 😩

[@VictoriaVonRad]

I switch out for plain Greek yogurt to my KD - ups the protein and makes it creamy and tangy :)

[@MamaTenny]

I’m going to tell my husband to try that Victoria! Thx for the tip!❤️

Of course you know what you are talking about when it comes to calories. good or bad , look how good you look,!

[@jonsmith9728]

Well your definitely right on the condiments (btw i drink black coffee lol) would have to agree to disagree, i would ditch the mac n cheese, potatoes, and toast (or atleast lo-carb the toast) and load up on the butter and bacon, but at the end of the day its all about CICO (i have found though ditching carbs down to fruits and vege and upping fat really improved my health in basically everyway) btw have a great 2024, hope your channel hits the next level

[@MamaTenny]

Thank you so much Jon, I always appreciate your kind (and comical) words!! Happy New Year to you!🎊🥳🍻(I chose the beers toasting instead of the champagne 😂🥂)

@@MamaTenny so i saw a vid from ronnie coleman, its his latest, he gave a shout out to collab with Will, just thought fyi lol...... sadly i had to work both eve and new yr's day but i did get that double pay (i have a few bottles of champagne chilling for myself and a few friends for friday, everyone gets a bottle lol).... have a great 2024

[@kat2878]

great tips!!!! - we don't realize how extra calories creep in - for me - i really cut back on smoothies - i thought i was making a healthy drink - but when i break it down - it was healthy - but also over 400 calories for what is essentially- a drink!!!!

[@MamaTenny]

That’s the thing, it’s the balance that seems to get lost. Of course healthy ingredients are essential (!!!!) but we can’t have everything all the time! Those pesky calories add up!🤦🏼‍♀️❤️

[@MamaTenny]

You’ve got a good eye Lynda!😂 Thank you! I’ve been thinking about doing a series of jewellery related videos. I think you know I am a gemologist and I work at an auction house so I was thinking of.. buying jewellery at auction, coloured stones, natural diamonds/lab grown diamonds, signed jewellery like VCA, Cartier etc. Do you think viewers (other than you and me, lol) would be interested? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lyndaboca8111]

@@MamaTenny Great idea! Thought you were in the business but didn't know you were a gemologist,. Your pieces are amazing as is your style, so I'm all in for that knowledge and would love to expand my collection so inside info for the auctions would be amazing! Also there is another channel that always does unboxing of VCA and she called out another youtuber that is actually based in Toronto (I think) for having a fake VCA bracelet - she pointed out how she knew it was not authentic and then the other youtuber had her husband going crazy looking for receipts as they bought it from a well know jewelry reseller in Toronto - if you want more info I can direct you to the video's...

[@Create_o_raptor]

I can easily turn down cake and chips at parties.. People at work ask me if I ever feel like eating it and ask how my WILL power is so good. To be completely honest. The only things I really craved and missed while dieting down was egg yolks in a good sunny side up or soft boiled egg and grilled/airfried red meats .. But now I'm maintaining while having better athletic capabilities to use the extra calories. So they fit in my diet in moderation now.

[@MamaTenny]

You are SO right, moderation is key!!! We can have all our favourites, just not all the time! Thx so much ❤

[@strikefirststrikehard780]

Great video. Butter is indeed tasty bit adds so many calories and is very easy to overeat. This is like a lot of other things as you point out. Also the saturated fat is not ideal. Way better sources of fat for heart health. Also in moderation of course. You hit the nail on the head with all calorie dense food mindfulness is key.

You hear it everywhere: don’t drink your calories! They provide little to no satiety, and they can REALLY creep up on you!

[@ragel1486]

Also , love the comment about the difference between Alfredo and tomato sauces! And if you can find the oil-free ones, so much the better! I prefer adding fat for flavor on my own terms. 😊

Me too!! Pick what you want when you want it! 👍🏼
