Which is the better product to eat? You have two kinds of something. One is lower in fat, the other is lower in calories. I find this in everything I look at, and it makes my decision difficult as which to get.

    Dietary fat doesn't make you fat, an excess of calories does. Low-fat products often have extra sugars and other additives to replace the flavor you lose by cutting fats out. I only choose low-fat or non-fat products if I like the taste of them better.
