Info/help

REDUCE CHOLESTEROL ~ Use vegetable oil or margarine instead of butter
~ Substitute 2 egg whites for 1 egg, or use egg substitute ~ Use more
vegetables and grains and less meat in recipe ~ Use soy-based product
to replace part of meat eg. tofu ~ Use nonfat milk products instead
of whole milk. REDUCE FAT CONTENT ~ Use reduced calorie mayonnaise
and salad dressing ~ Blend cottage cheese or yogurt with milk for
sour cream topping ~ Replace regular whipping cream with low-cal
topping or yogurt ~ Remove visible fat from meat and skin from
poultry before cooking ~ Decrease oil in marinades and salad
dressing; increase vinegar, water and seasonings ~ Use foods canned
in their own juice or water ~ De-fat meat drippings by refrigerating
and skimming fat off the top ~ Decrease the amount of fat used in
baked goods by 1/3 to 1/2 and increase fluids called for to reach
desired consistency. ~ Cheese that is finely grated or thinly sliced
goes further ~ Pour some of the fat off the top of "natural" peanut
butters. REDUCE SODIUM CONTENT ~ Use low-salt or no-salt-added
products ~ Increase your use of herbs and spices in place of salt in
recipes ~ Use fresh foods whenever possible in place of canned or
processed (soup mixes, cured meats, etc) or rinse canned foods (tuna)
with water ~ Do not add salt to water when cooking pasta or other
foods. REDUCE SUGAR CONTENT ~ Decrease the amount of sugar called for
in traditional recipes by at least 1/3; substitute fruit juices,
nectars or pureed fruits. ~ Use fruit canned in water or fruit juice
~ Use non caloric sweeteners if needed to increase the sweetness of a
recipe without added calories. (Most baked desserts require at least
3/4 tsp. sugar per serving to achieve a desirable flavor.)
