The average bagel measures nearly 3 1/2 inches, which is a whole lot of carbohydrates that you don't need first thing in the morning (or really any time of the day). Instead, use one tablespoon of peanut butter and some fresh sliced strawberries in a whole-wheat English muffin.

2. Try Greek Yogurt Instead of Low-Fat Milk

Instead of pouring 1/2 a cup of low-fat milk into your 2/3 cup of cereal or granola, pour a 1/4 cup of granola or cereal over 6 ounces of non-fat Greek yogurt. Try using low-fat granola, which has about 75 percent less fat than the regular one.

3. Eat Oranges Instead of Drinking Orange Juice

Orange juice usually contains a lot of sugar, unless it is very freshly squeezed. Instead, eat an orange that you know is completely natural. In fact, one cup of orange juice has 24 grams of sugar, while one whole orange has just 12 grams! Eating an orange will also give you 3 extra grams of fiber that drinking orange juice won't.

4. Wrap Your Sandwich Instead of Using Bread

Find 100-calorie whole-wheat wraps (or really any kind of wrap you can find besides white flour ones) that usually measure about 8 inches. These delicious wraps will save you on calories and carbs while still leaving you feeling full.

5. Try Fresh Apple Slices Instead of Crackers

When you are craving for a snack, try using fresh apple slices as the vehicle for your cheese instead of greasy and fatty crackers. Substituting with apples will also help you up your daily fruit count and will leave you feeling lighter come dinner time. Apples don't have the sodium that crackers do - another point in their favor. Five wheat crackers have about 200mg of sodium in them, while apples have none.

6. Corn Tortillas Instead of Flour Ones
