Beware of fat hidden in
foods that you would not expect. Salads are notorious for hidden fat
because of the dressing. Salad dressing may contain up to 20 grams of
fat per serving. Most people dump 3 or 4 servings of dressing on their
salad. That turns a low fat, low calorie salad into a 800 calorie meal
with about 80 grams of fat. That's equivalent to a double cheeseburger.
So you thought your salad was low calorie! The best way to eat salads
are as follows:
- Use low fat or non fat
dressing
- Use Italian dressing
which is low in calories and fat and available in most restaurants.
- Avoid creamy Italian
dressing
- If you must use
regular dressing, use only half a serving (1 tablespoon). Request
dressing on the side when eating in restaurant and put a half serving in
yourself.
Sandwiches from
restaurant are loaded with fat though the meat may be low in calorie and
fat. Mayonnaise and cream sauces add a bunch of calories to a normally
low calorie meal. The best ways to keep your sandwich low in calories is
to:
- Avoid tuna
sandwiches in restaurants which are loaded with fattening mayonnaise
and average 700 calories and 50 grams of fat.
- Make tuna
sandwiches at home using light mayonnaise. Use tuna packed in
water. The average tuna sandwich prepared like this is about 250
calories.
- Avoid too much mayonnaise and sauces. Replace
with light mayonnaise (if available) or mustard.
- Never use oil on sandwiches. That really adds
to the calories and fat.
- Use light or reduce calorie salad dressing
for a great tasting sandwich
- Use reduce fat cheese when available.
Pancakes and waffles
are great tasting breakfast foods that are not high in calorie and fat.
Use light syrup or half the amount of regular pancake syrup.
Beware of any cream sauces. Alfredo sauce is the most fattening. Some
Alfredo sauces have 400 calories and 38 grams of fat per half cup
serving. Soups with a cream base like clam chowder are high in calories
and fat.
