Nutrition Facts - Fat to Calories Ratio Per Serving Size

Fat is necessary in a healthy diet but too much fat can make us fat. Some fat calories are sneaky, too.  Although a food may contain a reasonable amount of calories, it's important to review the nutrition fact label to reveal hidden fat calories.

Many times, more than 3/4's of the calories of a food may be derived from fat.


Example: A typical BLT contains about 350 calories but about 60% of those calories are derived from fat.  It's also loaded with sodium - and with these things in mind, a BLT isn't a very wise diet choice. It doesn't mean that a BLT can't be a part of a healthy diet.  What it does mean is that we must ask ourselves if we truly want all that fat in our bodies - in our arteries.  

A solution to those foods that we love to eat, but are not so good for us, is to unfatten them a bit. The BLT can be trimmed in fat by thoroughly draining the bacon and blotting excess grease away with a paper towel.  Turkey bacon would also make a healthier BLT. Light Mayo is another item that can healthy-up our BLT.

Our BLT example is a good example of why nutrition labels are so helpful and important to the dieter.  While most products at the market contain labels, consumers continue to play a guessing game while dining out.

Foods With High Fat Content-to-Overall Calorie Ratio

Potted meats, cheese souffle', most cheese, whipping cream, cream, sour cream, butter (100% fat), peanut butter.
