Kittynn Chen traineo Regular Posts: 43 Kittynn Chen Have a look at my Food Diary at: http://kittynns-food-diary.blogspot.com/ I started to gain more and more weight a few years ago and decided it to be enough now. I want to get rid of this problem and now I wonder what let me wait for so long :)	# Posted: 8 Jun 2007 11:37 how low is low? i guess you could take most recipes and replace certain ingredients to get fewer calories I've got a recipe for carrot cake. The whole cake is about 800g and one serving of 100g is about 300 calories. If you replace the sugar in this certain recipe with honey and the hazelnuts with almonds you get 20 calories less per serving. Not too much, but a difference
Heather C. Fitness Guru Posts: 573 Heather C. Back from my 2 weeks cycling in Germany and am predictably rather heavier than I was before I left. That's the Bier and Wurst for you. I'm back to JUDDD now and feel better for it, too. Shame I can't spend hours cycling anymore, though	# Posted: 8 Jun 2007 12:06 I know that some people subsitute the fat in a recipe with unsweetened apple puree - maybe try experimenting with that in small batches. I did find this recipe

debby bright traineo Newbie Posts: 10 debby bright I'm riding my bike 5-6 days per week for 1/2 hour, averaging about 11mph. According to one website, I should be burning up about 185 calories per ride. That's not much compared to the pain I'm suffering. Most of my ride is uphill and it means a half-hour cardio work-out by my estimation.	# Posted: 14 Jul 2007 18:15 If you go to splenda.com you'll find tons of low-cal recipes without sugar that are out of this world. One of my favorites is a sweet potato recipe with a crusty topping (can't remember the name of it). Good luck!

This member has no personal statement yet!	# Posted: 15 Jul 2007 00:52 If you substitute buttermilk for most of the oil in any recipe, I'm telling you that you will not miss it. I tried the applesauce thing, and didn't like it. Substituting buttermilk for most of the oil results in a super moist, delicious cake. (I do like using some of the oil in the recipe, though, because I think some fat is needed for taste).
