Opt for whipped butter to save on calories without sacrificing taste.

Fitness tip: wall sits- Gym class memories of sitting with your back against a wall, legs shaking until you see stars are enough to remind us of the power of this seemingly simple move. Make sure your legs are at a 90-degree angle, press your back against the wall, and hold it until you absolutely can't hold it any longer.

Food tip: Pork Rinds- It's probably the ultimate down-home, guilty pleasure, but a 1-ounce serving of pork rinds provides a whopping 17 grams of protein—nine times the protein in a serving of regular potato chips. And most of the puffy snack's fat is oleic acid, which is the same healthy fat you’ll find in olive oil. Another fat found in pork rinds, stearic acid, is a type of saturated fat that doesn’t raise blood cholesterol levels.

Fitness tip: Plank- It doesn't get much easier than holding still. That is, until you try holding still with only your hands and toes touching the ground. To get the most out of this core exercise, make sure you pull your bellybutton in toward your spine and keep your hands in line with your shoulders. Don't let your hips sag—you shouldn't be feeling this in your back.
