Oranges--80 calories

OMG, ORANGES! I know this will sound crazy, but I love sucking the juice straight from and orange. Not only low in calories, but high in vitamin C. Gonna share a secret for my juicy turkeys: I cut an orange, a lemon (17 cal), and a lime (20 cal). I squeeze a little juice of each over the turkey, then I put the pieces inside the turkey's cavities. This not only adds an amazing flavor to the meat, but it creates a steam inside that makes the juiciest bird.

Blueberries--85

Gotta love blueberries. Not only very delicious, but they are also great for your heart and overall health.

I sure hope these ideas give you great options when choosing a healthier lifestyle. I never do "diets". This is a lifestyle change, it's permanent, not temporary.
