How To Cut Back On Fat Everyday


Every day ways to cut back on fat
The amount of fat you eat will vary from day to day. Some meals and some days will be higher in fat. That's okay. Even high
fat meals can be in keeping with healthy eating as long as you balance higher fat meals or days with some lower fat meals or days.
It is the average intake of fat over the course of weeks and months that is important, not the fat content of every food and meal you eat

Ways to Cut Fat
* You drink 1 glass of whole/homo milk a day. Switch to 1% milk and cut
out 6g of fat of

* When you make a sandwich you butter or spread margarine lightly on the
bread and use mayonnaise with the filling as well.
Omit the butter on the sandwich and cut out 4g of fat (1 tsp. of
butter/margarine). Use light mayonnaise, instead or regular mayonnaise
and cut out an additional 6g of fat.

* You buy lean meat but you like a generous portion......about 6oz of cooked
meat for dinner.
Reduce the portion size to the recommended 3 oz and cut out about 9g of fat
for beef, pork and lamb and 5g of fat for poultry.

* You only drink 2 cups of coffee a day but you like double cream in both.
Switch to 2% milk and cut out about 6g of fat. Think about what this means
if you drink more than 2 cups of coffee!
