We’ve all discovered a few tricks for keeping calorie intake low while eating favorite foods.  Here’s one of my snacking rules:  If you eat it at a different time of day, it’s calorie-free.  Pizza for breakfast.  Leftover steak with Bearnaise sauce as  a mid-morning pick me up.   Another rule:  Pie anytime you feel like it, except maybe not for dessert.  (Only dessert contains calories.) And so on. 

Recently Stephen King covered a sort-of related topic beautifully in his column in Entertainment Weekly magazine (link below) In this article, he explains how to reduce calories and enjoy favorite snacks.  I believe every one of Mr. King’s suggestions is valid and besides, nobody says it better.
