Shaving 100 calories a day can lead to slow and steady weight loss. Try to adopt several 100-calorie changes every day for permanent weight loss.

Easy ways to cut 100 calories:

Buy a pedometer and walk an extra 2000 steps, roughly equivalent to a mile and 100 calories.
Eat a high-fiber breakfast that will help reduce the quantity of food eaten at lunch.
Use mustard or low-fat mayonnaise on your sandwich instead of regular mayonnaise.
Have a piece of fresh fruit instead of cookies or chips.
Drink diet soda instead of regular soda.
Choose sherbet or sorbet over super-premium ice cream.
Use two tablespoons of light whipped butter or margarine instead of regular.
Top your favorite pasta with a red sauce instead of a cream sauce.
Skip the blue cheese topping on your salad.
Order a small drink instead of a super-sized drink.
Hold the bacon on your sandwich or at breakfast.
Use water packed tuna instead of oil packed.
Eat a snack sized chocolate bar instead of a whole candy bar.
Order your pizza with veggies instead of high-fat meat toppings.
Eat an appetizer as your main meal instead of an entrée.
Skip the extra butter shot on your movie theater popcorn.
Order your sandwich on whole grain bread instead of a croissant or bagel.
Leave the crust on the pie and enjoy the filling.
Leave 3 to 4 bites of food on your plate.
Pass on the gravy on your mashed potatoes.
Try an open-faced sandwich with only one slice of bread.
