Want to clear thousands of unneeded pesky calories out of your life? Just give your fridge a mini makeover by trading in fatty foods for guilt-free Hungry Girl faves!
Dairy Dos and Dairy Don'ts!
Trash it: Full-fat cheeses, whole milk, eggs, whipped cream, regular pudding snacks, full-fat yogurt
Stash it: Fat-free and low-fat cheeses (Kraft and Lifetime have great options, and The Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges rock!), light soymilk (we like ours vanilla-flavored), fat-free liquid egg substitute (Egg Beaters are vitamin-enhanced!), Fat Free Reddi-wip, sugar-free pudding snacks (usually 60 calories or less!), fat-free mayo or Miracle Whip, fat-free yogurt (Yoplait Light, Dannon Light & Fit, and Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt are our picks) ![]()
Lunchmeat Swap-A-Rama
No-Nos: Premade tuna salad, dark-meat skin-on chicken or turkey breast, full-fat hot dogs, bacon
Go-Gos: Tuna packed in water (mix it with fat-free mayo, Vivi's Original Sauce, and/or mustard), skinless lean chicken breast (like the ones by Tyson and Perdue), 98% fat-free turkey slices, fat-free or nearly fat-free hot dogs (Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Franks and Ball Park Bun Size Smoked White Turkey Franks are sooo good!), Jennie-O Extra Lean Turkey Bacon (only 20 calories per slice!)
Beverages Made Better
Skip it: Regular soda, juice (a lot of calories, and it isn't as filling as chewing the actual fruit), high-calorie energy drinks
Sip it: No-calorie colas (Coke Zero and rest of the Zero line taste exactly like regular soda!), low-calorie juice drinks (Minute Maid makes a ton, and Tropicana's Light 'n Healthy is the ultimate orange juice swap), FRS Low Calorie Antioxidant Health Drink (it comes in ready-to-drink cans and also concentrate form), SoBe Lean![]()
Condiments and More...
Desert it: High-calorie marinades, full-fat salad dressings, mayonnaise, butter, maple syrup, jelly, full-fat peanut butter
Squirt it: Low-cal marinades (like the ones by Newman's Own, Lawry's, and Mrs. Dash), Vivi's Original Sauce, KC Masterpiece Classic Blend Barbeque Sauce (only 10 calories per serving!), low-cal salad dressings (Girard's Fat Free line is awesome, and Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers are crazy-good!), Hellmann's/Best Foods Dijonnaise, fat-free mayo or Miracle Whip, light whipped butter or light buttery spread (Land O'Lakes' version and Brummel & Brown are all-stars in our book), sugar-free maple syrup, sugar-free preserves (Smucker's has the best selection ever), Better'n Peanut Butter (only 2.5g fat per 2-tbsp. serving -- regular PB has 16 grams!)
This goes without saying, but we'll say it anyway -- always keep the fridge stocked with fresh veggies and fruit! And for a full list of HG's guilt-free supermarket staples, click here!
