Tips and tricks for fats

Do not forget that fat contains over twice the amount of calories than proteins and carbohydrates.

Fat should only be used to spice up your cooking!

The Daily Recommended Value of cholesterol is 300 milligrams.

Vegetables, fruits and grains contain no cholesterol.

Liver, egg yolk and almost all the meat products contain more cholesterol than the recommended amount if you eat more than 200 grams of them.

I recommend replacing high fat content foods with low fat content foods: turkey breast and ham instead of salami; pork chops instead of sausage; freeze-dried banana slices instead of potato chips.

Choose a margarine made from vegetable oils.

While preparing meat, try to remove all its skin and fat!

Do not fry meat in saturated oil, and try to use non-stick pots and pans.

You can cook with the same oil twice. If the oil burns, do not use it again.
