ANSWERS:

1. Chocolate Chip Cookie vs. Oatmeal Raisin Cookie: Chocolate chip cookies are a baking classic, but they're not the best nutritionally. The chocolate in the chips has some antioxidants, but oatmeal raisin cookies have fewer calories and almost half the fat. Whichever you choose, make them better for you. Eat homemade when possible to avoid the trans fats in most store-bought versions. Then throw in some walnuts to add heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Chocolate Chip (16 grams)
78 calories
4.5 grams total fat
2.2 grams saturated fat

Oatmeal Raisin(16 grams)
69 calories
2.5 grams total fat
.5 grams saturated fat

2. PB&J vs. BLT: The amount of fat in each of these classic sandwiches is about the same (23 grams for a BLT and 19 for a PB&J). But even though you get vitamins A and C from the veggies in a BLT, most of the sandwich's fat is saturated. The PB&J wins out: It has twice the fiber (2.4 grams) of a BLT, and half its fat is monounsaturated—the good kind.

3. Ground Beef vs. Ground Turkey: For backyard barbecue, your first instinct may be to choose ground turkey rather than ground round. But unless it's made only from breast meat, ground turkey isn't the low-fat option you might think it is. In fact, the calorie and fat amounts in ground round and regular ground turkey are surprisingly close, with the beef at 218 calories and 13 fat grams and the turkey at 200 calories and 11 fat grams. To save calories, go for ground turkey breast, which knocks calories down to 161 and slashes the fat almost in half.

Ground Round (3 ounces, pan-browned)
218 calories
13 grams fat
77 milligrams cholesterol

Ground Turkey Breast (3 ounces, roasted, boneless)
161 calories
6 grams fat
63 milligrams cholesterol

4. Soy Milk vs. Cow's Milk: Milk is an important source of calcium and protein for women. But not all milk is created equal. Both the plant-based and bovine varieties offer roughly equal amounts of protein. Unless the soy milk is fortified (and many now are), dairy milk is a superior choice for calcium. One cup supplies a third of the recommended daily allowance for women.

Soy Milk
81 Calories
6.7 grams protein
4.7 grams fat
9.8 milligrams calcium

2 Percent Cow's Milk
121 calories
8 grams protein
4.7 grams fat
296.7 grams calcium

5. Tortilla vs. Pita: While pita bread is virtually fat-free, tortillas are made with oil, adding 5 fat grams on average. And the 10-inch burrito-sized wraps normally used to encase a meal deliver 227 calories (watch out for even larger 12- to 14-inch rounds) versus 165 calories from a large 6.5-inch pita. Given the choice, tell the deli to stuff it (not wrap it).

Pita (6.5 inches)
165 calories
.7 grams fat

Tortilla (10-inch)
227 calories
5 grams fat

6. Baba Ghanoush vs. Hummus: The baba ghanoush edges out hummus in fat content, calories, and fiber. Still, either one will make a healthier substitution for queso at your next gathering.

Baba Ghanoush
1/4 cup serving
51 calories
3.1 grams of fat
2.4 grams of fiber

Hummus
1/4 cup serving
123 calories
4.2 grams of fat
0.6 grams of fiber

7. Pecan Pie vs. Pumpkin Pie: Pick pumpkin if you have a choice. A single slice of ordinary pumpkin pie offers half the calories and more fiber and calcium than pecan, and has nearly two-thirds of your daily vitamin A needs. Typical pecan pie is higher in calories and fat (though about half the fat percentage comes from "good" mono- and polyunsaturated fats). Lighten it up, though, and pecan pie can stay on the menu.

Pecan Pie
Calories: 400
Calories from fat: 41 percent

Pumpkin Pie
Calories: 210
Calories from fat: 39 percent

8. Potato Chips vs.Veggie Chips: A single serving of veggie chips (about 22 chips) gains the edge with slightly lower calorie and fat levels. And although they usually cost more than potato chips, veggie chips offer real savings in terms of sodium: Most have less than 40 percent of the salt that usually flavors chips of the spud variety.

Potato Chips
151 calories
9.8 grams fat
168 milligrams sodium

Veggie Chips
141 calories
7 grams fat
97 milligrams sodium
