Employ these tiny diet tweaks that add up to a major difference on the scale.

If you love the idea of losing weight and improving your health, but you feel less than enthusiastic about dieting to make it happen, you're definitely not alone. According to data from the market research firm NPD Group, 50 percent of people say that they'd like to lose weight, but only 25 percent of people actually do anything about it (like by dieting). If that sounds familiar, resist the urge to throw in the towel! There are a number of easy swaps you can make throughout the week that will help you eat healthier and save you hundreds and thousands of calories—without leaving you feeling deprived.

These easy, delicious swaps will help you stay on track at breakfast, lunch, and dinner—and during snack and dessert time, too! Not only will you painlessly save tons of calories and see a difference on the scale, but you'll also be taking in more nutrients every time you dine, too.

1 Replace Egg Whites with Whole Eggs

To eat the yolk or not to eat the yolk? That's the age-old question. Thanks to recent science, however, we finally know the answer. As it turns out, eating whole eggs is far healthier than sticking to the whites. That's because the yellow contains a fat-fighting nutrient called choline, so opting for whole eggs can actually help you trim down!

2 Replace Flavored Oatmeal with Unsweetened Oatmeal

Sure, there are a few exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking, instant, flavored oatmeal is a chemical and calorie landmine—and one that's been stripped of its wholesome nutrients. To dial back on the excess sugar and additives, zap some rolled oats with some water in the microwave and top with some cinnamon, nuts, and light drizzle of honey for added flavor. If you're more of the set-it-and-forget-it type, overnight oats may be an even better solution for you.

3 Replace Granola with Nuts

While granola may seem like an innocent yogurt topper, it's almost always loaded with added sugar. To get the crunch you crave without the extra calories and sugar, top your yogurt with some nuts instead. And if you need a bit of added sweetness, drizzle on a teaspoon or two of maple syrup or honey.

4 Replace Jam with Smashed Avocado

If you typically kick off your day with jam-topped toast, you're missing an opportunity to consume some filling and healthy nutrients. Instead of your go-to fruit spread (which is often filled with added sugar), mash half an avocado on top of your toast, drizzle with some lemon juice, and top it off with a slice of tomato. The green fruit's fiber and cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated healthy fats will keep you full and satisfied well into the afternoon—especially when it's paired with an egg or two.

5 Replace Cheese with Veggies

Whether you kick off your day with an egg sandwich or an omelet, swapping cheese for veggies is an easy way to dial back on sodium, fat, and calories. Spinach, tomato, and onion farewell on sammies, while just about any combo of veggies will taste great in stove top eggs. To cut back on the time spent slaving in the kitchen before work, chop up the veggies ahead of time so you just need to toss them onto the stove in the a.m. For even more ways to save time when you cook, don't miss these 20 One-Minute Dinner Hacks That Save Tons of Time.

6 Replace Creamer with Organic Whole Milk

Not only are traditional creamers made with a nasty combination of water, sugar, soybean oil, and corn syrup, they typically contain carrageenan, a stabilizer that's linked to inflammation. The news keeps on getting worse: one serving is considered one tablespoon. An average, unmeasured pour equals four times that amount. So, what you think of as 35 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, and 6 grams of sugar is actually 140 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 24 grams of sugar. Add a second cup, and you've already exceeded the maximum recommended daily sugar intake of 40 grams.

The healthier move? Pour in a small amount of a natural creamer or better yet, go with organic whole milk and a bit of cinnamon for flavor. The calcium in it can help counter the calcium-robbing aspects of the caffeine, and it's a great way to get vitamins A, D, and B12 (which are vital for bone health).

7 Swap Bagels for English Muffins

Do your best to resist your neighborhood deli; there's nothing smart about this a.m. pick. One bagel is equivalent to roughly four slices of nutrient-void white bread. Not only is this morning staple super caloric, but it's also missing nutrients like fiber and protein to keep you energized through the morning. The healthier pick? Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Whole Grain English Muffins—or any whole-
