Healthy Substitutes for Baking
It may seem impossible to find a delicious dessert that’s also good for you, but healthy dessert is possible — you just have to know the right ingredients to use. Knowing the ingredients you’re using will also help you understand how many calories you’re taking in, something many people misjudge. According to an article published in the British Medical Journal, two-thirds of people who responded to a survey underestimated how many calories they were taking in. By using healthy ingredients and knowing their nutritional information, you can make better choices while baking.
