Indulge without worrying about packing on extra pounds over the holidays! With a few small tweaks to your favorite recipes you can avoid hundreds of calories and fat without compromising taste or texture. It might sound to good to be true, but with these clever tricks from the Early Show you won't be disappointed.

1. Pie - Cut the sugar by 1/2 to save 700 calories.

2. Pudding - Use 2% milk rather than cream to save 744 calories.

3. Cookies - Use whole wheat flour rather than all purpose flour to get 12 grams of fiber per cookie.

4. Cheese Cake - Use partly skim ricotta cheese rather than cream cheese to cut 60 grams of fat and double the protien. With the increased protien, you'll eat less and feel full.

5. Loaves + Brownies - Use pumpkin pure rather than oil to save 900 calories and 100 grams of fat.

6. Chocolate Cake - Use 3 tbsps of cocoa powder for every ounce of baking chocolate to save 85 calories and 12 grams of fat.
