Summer temptations are upon us. With all the cookouts, and the deafening never changing ice cream truck repeatedly driving by taunting you to eat ice cream, and not to mention the heat and humidity rising, can drive a person crazy when they are trying to eat healthier.

Here are a few suggestions to reduce at least 100 calories.
1. Instead of eating Ice cream try a frozen yogurt.
2. Instead of eating chips and dip try eating veggies and dip.

Range Kleen offers a great on the go fruit and veggie container. The Go Go Fruit / Veggie container has a separate compartment which can hold 3 oz. of dip, great for portion control. Not only is it great for dressings, dips, and salsa this container is microwave safe with the lid open and also top rack dishwasher safe.

3. For taco salads or regular salads instead of using salad dressing try creating your own salsa dressing, chopping up fresh vegetables and adding cilantro.

4. Another great calorie cutter is instead of eating a sandwich, try eating an open-faced sandwich which is half of your bread intake.
