Using less sugar is a great way to cut down on calories. Use about 1/2 the sugar of a full-calorie recipe and substitute vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon or cloves to enhance the sweetness.

Vegetables add flavor and bright colors to your low-calorie dishes, too. They also are overflowing with important minerals and vitamins. Chopped veggies can replace some meats in recipes, including casseroles, stews and soups.

Choose the most flavorful ingredients to include in your low-calorie recipes. You may need less cheese, for example, if you choose a type like sharp cheddar, that has a stronger flavor. Use a lower amount of dairy products, and if youre using milk or sour cream, choose those that are made with less fat and lower sodium.

You can also add flavor with spices and herbs, which enhance the overall appeal of your low-calorie diet dishes. Fresh herbs are better than dried, if you want a lower calorie dish.
