Losing weight requires you to consume fewer calories than you expend. Since moderately active women require about 1,800 to 2,200 calories per day to maintain weight, and men require about 2,200 to 2,800 calories per day, meals that contain 250 calories can help you limit your total calorie intake so that you can lose weight.
Focus on portion sizes and low-calorie, nutritious choices. Plan ahead so you are not tempted to choose fast food or high-calorie convenience foods when you are hungry. Choose nutrient-dense foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans and lean proteins, so you can meet your nutrient requirements while limiting your calories. For a low-calorie breakfast, make an omelet with one large, whole egg and two egg whites, one cup of fresh spinach and a cup of fresh mushrooms.
Green salads are staples on many low-calorie diets because they can be big and filling without being high in calories. Make your own soup for a low-calorie meal packed with nutrition.

The key to smooth tasting iced coffee is to cold brew it--no hot water involved. It took me awhile to figure that out. I'd tried to make iced coffee simply by cooling my leftover morning coffee and pouring it over ice. It always tasted way too bitter. Turns out that cold-brewed coffee is 67% less acidic than when it's hot-brewed. That acid is what causes the bitter taste that is especially pronounced when it's drunk cold (source).
Since figuring out how to cold-brew coffee and discovering how smooth and delicious it tastes, I now prefer to make iced coffee at home where I can control the ingredients and calories. It's a big money saver, too. I've had lots of request for an iced coffee recipe, and most recently my niece Melissa asked for one. Coffee is good for you! In a nutshell, here's how to cold-brew coffee: Make it a day ahead by soaking ground coffee in water overnight (12 hours). Drink it hot, too.

They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy.
