How to Reduce the Fat in Your Food

Share

• Saute vegetables in a few tablespoonful of soup stock rather than in fat.
  
• Saute and fry foods less often. Steam, broil, bake and poach instead.
  
• For salads and cooking, use corn, safflower or olive oil, sparingly.
  
• Substitute egg whites or tofu for egg yolks.
  
• Use low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream or mayonnaise.
  
• Try low-fat cheeses such as part skim mozzarella in recipes.
  
• Use ground turkey or crumbled tofu in place of ground beef.
  
• Thicken cream-style corn with a mashed potato or uncooked oatmeal.
  
• Replace nut butters with bean spread for sandwiches and snack dips.
