Lose weight by skipping crunchy toppings

Try thinking of the last time you bought macaroni and cheese. Did you enjoy the crunchy, delicious golden brown topping? Other than cheese, this golden brown topping usually consists of croutons.

What are croutons?

Croutons are small pieces of bread that are cut into cubes and deep fried in butter or fat. They are delicious and are often added to soups or on pasta dishes, sometimes as a garnish or even as a component of the meal itself.

Increase in calories

The butter or fat on which the croutons are deep fried can add hundreds of calories to your meal, however, this is also dependent on your portion size. So eliminating this small crunchy craving can help you to save yourself from gaining weight.

Other deep fried foods to watch out for

Other deep fried foods that are often served in restaurants as side items are potato chips and onions rings. Delicious as they are, it is often hard to say no to them, so treating yourself once in a while is OK – just not too much, not every time!
