Whether you are trying to lose weight, lower blood cholesterol levels or simply eat healthier, you'll want to limit total fat intake.
• Fat can raise cholesterol levels in the blood increasing risk of heart disease.
• Some fatty foods (such as bacon, sausage, and potato chips) have fewer vitamins and minerals than low-fat foods. (Note: Protein sources, especially red meat and dairy products, contain fat. Lean meat, fish, poultry without skin, beans, tofu, low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk, low-fat cottage cheese, and tuna fish packed in water are good, low-fat sources of protein.)
• Fat has about twice as many calories per gram as carbohydrates and proteins.
Your challenge is to decrease the total amount of fat you eat when logging your calories on myfitnesspal, concentrate on making sure you also log your fat intake and keep within your daily allowance.
All you need to do to get started is post your intent to join the challenge and share your experiences helping to motivate each other along the way.
Good luck.
