• Chose lean cuts of meat
• Trim fat from beef and remove the skin from poultry.
• Use oil sparingly in cooking.
• Use low-fat spreads and salad dressings on baked products and vegetables.
• Margarine and vegetable oil are lower in saturated fat than animal fat is.
• Use herbs, spices, lemon juice, and vinegar to substitute for high-fat sauces.
• Get the baked potato instead of the french fries.
• Have a turkey sandwhich instead of a salami one.
• Watch out for egg yolks -- they are loaded with cholesterol.
• Drink skim or 1% milk.
• Have frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.
