Low-calorie favourite for weight watchers

If you absolutely love eating cheese-steak rolls but are concerned (quite rightly!) over the amount of fat you are piling on, then read on for how to make this meal a little bit lower in calories, whilst keeping it just as delicious!

Here are a few ways in which you can make cheese-steak rolls healthier and less fattening.

Choose meat carefully

If weight watching, always be sure to select lean cuts of meat when at the butcher. If unsure, always ask – your butcher will be more than happy to help! The leaner the meat, the lower the fat and this means fewer calories!

Choose cheese carefully

Always opt for low-fat cheese and push the full-cream and other high-fat versions aside. You wouldn’t even know the difference, once the meal is put together anyway.

Which rolls should I buy?

Whole grain, high fibre rolls are great for you when you are on a weight-loss plan. They will fill you up quicker and are healthier than the refined versions. They also add texture and flavour which will make any meal taste far more wholesome and nutritious.

Non-stick spray

If adding onions to your cheese-steak roll, use a non-stick spray instead of oil or butter. This change will immediately knock hundreds of calories off your meal.

Salsa or sauce?

Switch the sauce for salsa. Sauces often contain artificial and refined sugars which will add on the weight, while salsas are made from fresh, nutritious vegetables which are healthy, flavoursome and low in calories.
