Some useful tips
Healthy recipes should not contain too much fat. Too much fat will give you weight problems. Remove oil from marinade and add something acidic before you eat.
A healthy recipe should not contain too much calories.
There is no need to get carried away by descriptions of foods labeled cholesterol free. Most vegetables are cholesterol free. What matters is the fat content and not what the label says.
Eat more baked foods than fried foods. Frying increases the fat content of the food.
It is healthier to eat two egg whites than to eat one whole egg. Opt for fat free sour cream instead of regular ones which contain fat.
Only eat when you are hungry. Don’t eat while watching TV.
Avoid oils. Use olive oil or canola oil in small quantities if you have to eat food with oil.
