Worst side: Baked potato with butter and sour cream 400 calories 14 g fat (6 g saturated) Eat this instead: Roasted red potatoes (1/2 cup) 100 calories 5 g fat (1 g saturated) The difference here is in the toppings. Add bacon and cheese to the mix, and add an extra 150 calories. Another smart sides rule: Not all salads are paragons of virtue. Greens with croutons and Italian dressing pack in 140 more calories than a serving of peas with pearl onions. |
