Lowfat Cooking Tips: Substitutions in Cooking & Baking




  • Use evaporated skim milk as a substitute for cream in recipes. A half-cup of cream has 400 calories, almost all from fat; the evaporated skim milk has about 100 calories with only a trace of fat.
  • For most recipes, you can substitute 2 egg whites for 1 whole egg.
  • A great cream sauce substitute: 1 cup low fat butter milk, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and tomato sauce or mustard.
