Foods High in Saturated Fats

Posted exclusively at Diet Bites

Cutting saturated fats in the diet is one of the wisest ways of cutting health risks. Although the Evil Diet Eye generally focuses on foods high in cholesterol, saturated fats are a greater contributor to blood cholesterol levels than cholesterol in the daily diet.

Daily Recommendation for Saturated Fats

Saturated fats should be strictly limited to about 10% or less of daily calories, about 20 grams daily for women and 24 grams for men. Keep in mind that saturated fat grams may vary from product to product - just another good reason to check those labels.
