Eye on Our Figures

We're all looking for ways to get through all the parties without putting on the pounds. I found a website with fifteen common foods that use more calories than they contain:

  • Celery
  • Oranges
  • Strawberries
  • Tangerines
  • Grapefruit
  • Carrots
  • Apricots
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Cucumbers
  • Watermelon
  • Cauliflower
  • Apples
  • Hot Chili Peppers
  • Zucchini
Something to remember, though: all are better for you raw than cooked, and that ranch dip on the veggies piles on a lot of fat. Enjoy the party platters, and munch to your heart's delight!
