Healthy Ingredient Food Substitutions

Instead of                                                     Try 

1 c. whole milk                                               1 c. skim milk
1 c. light cream                                               1 c. evaporated skim milk
1 c. sour cream                                               1 c. plain low fat yogurt
1 oz. baking chocolate                                     3 tbsp. cocoa
1 oz. bacon                                                     1 oz. lean ham
ice cream                                                        ice milk or frozen yogurt
potato chips                                                     pretzels
1/4 c. vegetable oil (in baking)                         1/4 c. applesauce
1 egg                                                              1/8 c. egg white or egg substitute

Some of these seem obvious but others we don't really think about, regardless I find a lot of these substitutions to really cut the fat with very little difference in flavor:)
