For condiments, include mustard, relish, low-fat mayo, ketchup. Wherever possible add beans and other legumes to dishes - such as casseroles, soups and healthy sides. If you're serving a dinner, bypass the appetizers which are a pitfall of extra calories. Try cutting desserts into bite-sized servings. Whether it's cakes, brownies, pastries or pies, offer pint-sized portions so that party revelers can have a tiny taste without going overboard.
