Eat This, Skip That at Parties

Eat Vegetables, Not Cheese

Enjoy the vegetable platter; skip the cheese platter.

Four cheddar cheese cubes have more than 100 calories and 5 grams of saturated fat (an ounce of Brie on a hunk of French bread does, too). Snack from the veggie platter (even tasting the low-fat dip), and you'll be able to fill your plate and go back for seconds.
