Fat free cooking secrets

There are lots of ways to cook fat free but flavor FULL. Often the things I add to my chicken or salmon have no calories at all. Here's a brief list of 0 calorie items I use.

0 calorie cooking!
garlic
capers
dry dressing mixes (Ranch, Italian, etc)
lemon juice
liquid spray butter
cooking spray
vinegar
mustard
sauerkraut
tabasco

Also, look for substitutes. I was eating oatmeal every morning as a breakfast/mid morning snack, but it had 2g of fat per serving. I switched to cream of wheat instead, which was lower in calories and fat free. If you switch to the fat free version of something, (yogurt, sour cream, cheese, etc) commit to sticking with it for an entire month. It will take your taste buds time to acclimate, but there's a good chance you will come to like it. I'm sure regular sour cream tastes better, but I like the fat free stuff just fine now!
