Root Vegetables with Added Fat


Roots like yams and sweet potatoes are super-nutritious, but you quadruple the calories when you mix them with cheese, cream, butter, canned soups, or crispy bacon. A sweet potato casserole can easily have 500 calories per serving -- 400 more than a simple roasted sweet potato. Tips:

  • Shave calories by eating root veggies oven-roasted or grilled.
  • If you must have mashed potatoes, skip the gravy and eat just 1/2 cup.
