Some quick diet tips to help replace high cholesteral/high fat foods in your daily diet

• One way to reduce fat and calorie intake is substituting Greek Yogurt for mayonnaise when making tuna. Greek Yogurt is high in protein, low in calories, and contains almost ZERO fat! And it tastes better :).
• An excellent pre-work out meal: one egg (dispose of yolk because it's high in cholesterol you'll only need the egg white), one piece of high fiber bread, one piece of cheese (or cottage cheese), one piece of turkey deli meat. Plenty of carbohydrates for energy and just enough protein to hold you until you get home for your post-work out meal.
• A cheap alternative to buying eggwhites is manually spooning the yolk out of the bowl after you crack it.
•  A glass of lowfat chocolate milk has roughly the same amount of protein as a protein shake but with much less calories. And it's tastier.
• 1LB of muscle burns 10-20 calories a day while 1LB of fat burns 2-5 calories a day. So don't ignore strength training when trying to lose weight!
• Life can be more fun naked, espicially in regards to chicken wings :). Save yourself tons of calories and fat by going naked on your wing order. 
• Making sandwiches with one piece of bread (high fiber, avoid white if possible) instead of two leaves more room for meat and protein instead of carbs.
• A study from the American College of Chest Physicians says Vitamin D deficiency associated with reduced lung function. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-02/acoc-vdd013111.php
