    Counting Calories
    10 ways you can cut 500 calories

    Get enough sleep: A lack of sleep can make you snack. People who got only 5 1/2 hours
    of sleep snaked more during the day. Kick the soda habit: A 12-ounce soft drink has
    about 150 to 180 calories. If you down two or three a day, youre getting lots of extra
    calories. Ditch that buttered movie popcorn: Yes, the large popcorn at the
    concession stand weighs in at a whopping 1,005 calories. Make mine a mini: Check
    out menus for small versions of great desserts, so you can dodge calories and end your
    meal on a sweet note. Count your chips (and crackers): No, should not eat your
    snacks from a large bag or box because its way too tempting to eat until the bag is
    empty. Dont eat in front of the TV: Youll eat up to 288 calories more, according to
    research from the University of Massachusetts. Step away from the nuts: Especially if theyre in
    a big bowl. The bigger the serving bowl, the more youll eat. Eat less pasta: One cup of pasta is just 220 calories.
    But typical dinner portions at restaurants can be as much as 480%
    Drink sugar-free: A 20-ounce tea with
    added fruit juices can have 400-plus calories. And Southern-style sweet tea isnt much better than soda: a 16-ounce
    bottle of syrupy sweet tea has 180 calories; three of those are 540 calories. Think small at the ice cream shop: Even
    if you indulge in your favorite full-fat flavor, youll save as many as 550 calories with a 5-ounce size instead of a 12ounce.
