6 Fat-Melting Food Swaps Posted Mon, Apr 14, 2008, 3:28 am PDT Post a Comment View All 35 Comments Not all burgers are created equal. That's important, especially when you consider that the average American will consume 100 of them this year. Take, for example, America's two most famous burgers: the Whopper with Cheese and the Big Mac. A fair fight, right? Well, if you go for the Arch alternative, you'll save 220 calories over the BK Behemoth. (A Big Mac has 540 calories and 29 grams of fat, compared to the Whopper's 760 calories and 47 grams of fat!) Use that strategy for every burger you eat in 2008, and you'll save 22,000 calories - the equivalent of almost six pounds of body fat. You don't have to (nor should you) live on Big Macs; pick an even leaner burger and save even more. See, the way you pick your favorite fixes - from burgers to banana splits - could help you make the transition from chubby to chiseled. In researching our new book Eat This, Not That!, we found that the most effective weight-loss strategy doesn't require you to abandon the foods you love, but simply to make better choices when selecting them. Supplement that approach with plenty of fresh produce and lean protein throughout the week, and you'll trade failed diets and wild weight fluctuations for healthy eating patterns and a lean, new you. And once you learn how it's done, you can stay that way forever. Who wouldn't make that swap? Pizza Eat This: 2 slices Domino's large cheese pizza with crunchy thin crust 360 calories 19 g fat  Not That! 2 slices Pizza Hut large cheese pizza with thin 'n cripsy crust 560 calories 24 g fat Save 200 calories and 5 grams of fat! In the world of mass-produced pizza, nothing beats Domino's crunchy thin-crust pie. Eat pizza just once a week, and you'll save more than 10,000 calories this year - which is a nice down payment on a smaller waist size. Turkey Sandwich Eat This: Subway 6-inch Turkey Sub with provolone cheese 330 calories 8.5 g fat  Not That! Panera Bread Sierra Turkey 840 calories 40 g fat Save 510 calories and 31.5 grams of fat! Don't sweat the meat in the sandwich: turkey, roast beef, and ham are all lean cuts. But Panera slathers its turkey with a thick layer of chipotle mayo and slides it into a heavy, oily wedge of focaccia, so that turkey is a porker. A Subway 6-incher not enough to quell your raging lunchtime hunger? Double up on meat for just 50 calories more. Cinnamon Roll Eat This: Au Bon Pain Cinnamon Roll 350 calories 21 g sugars 12 g fat  Not That! Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll 813 calories 55 g sugars 32 g fat Save 463 calories, 34 grams of sugars, and 20 grams of fat! OK, there's absolutely no nutritional value in a cinnamon roll. We said it. But when you just have to have one, take comfort in knowing that Au Bon Pain's restrained rendition more than halves the calories, sugar, and fat found in the Cinnabon catastrophe. Beer Drink This: Guinness Draught 125 calories 10 g carbohydrates Not That! Sierra Nevada Pale Ale 175 calories 15 g carbohydrates Save 50 calories a beer! Surprised? Most people think of Guinness as a beer milkshake: dark, thick, and rich enough to inspire guilt at first sip. But switch out a six-pack a week and you've just saved yourself more than four pounds this year. Extend those savings even further with Beck's Premier Light: At 64 calories a bottle, it doesn't get any lighter than this. Doughnut Eat This: Dunkin' Donuts Glazed Donut 230 calories 10 g fat 12 g sugars Not That! Dunkin' Donuts Glazed Cake Donut 330 calories 18 g fat 18 g sugars Save 100 calories and 8 grams of fat! Both are cloaked in sugar, but their original doughnuts are light and airy because they're made with yeast, and cake donuts are heavy and dense because they're made with cake batter. Remember: Cake is not a breakfast food. Fruit Smoothie Eat This: Jamba Juice Power Mega Mango Smoothie 420 calories 97 g sugars Not That! Dunkin' Donuts Large Tropical Fruit Smoothie 720 calories 142 g sugars Save 300 calories and 45 grams of sugars! This sickeningly sweet concoction from Dunkin' has an ingredient list straight out of a chem lab and more sugar than seven Häagen-Dazs vanilla-and-almond ice-cream bars. So this tropical excursion will be bad for your equator. The Jamba version is 100 percent fruit, so there's a huge caloric discount and big antioxidant payload.
