2. Swap: Ricotta Cheese
Got a recipe that calls for ricotta cheese? Your best bet would be to replace it with low-fat cottage cheese, but if you insist on using ricotta cheese, choose the low-fat option.
3. Swap: Ground Beef
Lasagna, spaghetti, meatloaf, chili – the ground beef in all these family-favorite dishes can easily be replaced with ground turkey. Also for the lasagna and spaghetti, use whole-wheat pasta.
4. Swap: Sour Cream
A lot of dips (or at least my favorite ones) always seem to require sour cream. Try substituting it with low-fat plain yogurt. You’ll get that same kick of flavor without all the extra fat and calories.
