To help you design
your menu for the day, we've compiled the following menu mate,
which lists hundreds of everyday foods according to how much fat
they contain in a serving. When you choose your food according
to how much fat you can "afford," you also find out
how many extras you can eat. Have 10 grams of fat to spend at
the end of the day? Pick out two 5's or a bit of chocolate for
9. Want to round out your breakfast with less than a gram of
extra fat? Have half a cantaloupe, a peach, or some grapes.
You'll also find a few
surprises here. Some very popular snack foods like nuts and
seeds, for example, are devastatingly high on the chart. A
sweet, refreshing mango, on the other hand, will delight your
mouth, satisfy your craving for a snack, and fit perfectly into
your fat budget.
So have fun browsing through this table. Pick
your snacks carefully and intelligently: Don't eat too many of
those 0-grams-of-fat jelly beans! |
