There are a lot of ways to cook with less fat... Start by cutting Saturated fat & Cholesterol in foods as well as in cooking. This can be done without cutting taste, too!  Below are a few suggestions:

  •  Trim all visible fat from meats
  •  Buy extra-lean ground beef and pork - remove skin from chicken
  •  Grill, bake or broil meats
  •  Use fresh herbs, and seasonings  in place of fat
  •  De-fat stock for soups, stews and gravy
  •  If a recipe calls for 1 large egg- use 2 egg whites, or an egg substitute
  •  Applesauce, mashed banana or plain yogurt could be used in place of oil in baking cakes or muffins
  • Steam or grill Vegetables 
  •  Try a combination of both Fat-Free and 2% reduced fat cheese in recipes that call for cheese.
  •  Use unsaturated oils such as Olive oil and Canola oil
  • Substitute regular mayonnaise with Fat-Free or light, and you could use a combination of both if you don't want to go with just Fat-Free.
