After joining Weight Watchers I started to fix much healthier meals for my family.

Whole wheat bread and grains, yogurt & fruit for snacking, fresh veggies, and meatless meals a few times each week.

I make LF substitutions in my fave recipes. That way - they don't realize I'm making"diet" food - because I'm just making what I always do with lower fat. Typically that means applesauce or pumpkin instead of oil in baked goods. 96% lean ground beef in place of ground chuck. 2% milk-containing cheeses instead of the full fat versions. Light butter and EVOO in cooking. Whole wheat pasta in place of white pasta.. And Light products in place of full fat products.

I buy meats with no fat, or hardly no fat on them.

Tell us how you serve your family while cutting the calories

I can eat a salad with chicken on top and love it with vingerette lite and my family can eat fast food whatever and it doesn't bother me at all. After they eat if I haven't eaten all of mine, my husband even wants some of my salad. But he says that's not a meal it's a side dish. LOL

I did the same thing, replaced ground beef with ground turkey, and no one even noticed!

I use ground turkey instead of beef and brown rice instead of white and always make a veggie with every meal

Using more fresh foods and less processed foods inevitably cuts calories way back.
