🥑 Are you eating too much fat?

Have you ever felt like you’re eating healthy, only to find that your weight isn’t budging? The culprit might be hidden in plain sight: added fat.

Fat, while essential for our bodies, can quickly derail our diet if we’re not mindful of our intake. It’s those sneaky calories that can sabotage our weight loss goals and increase our risk of heart disease.

Why is Measuring Fat Important?

• Hidden Calories: Fat is calorie-dense, meaning it packs a lot of calories into a small amount of food.
• Cholesterol Impact: Consuming too much saturated fat can elevate your cholesterol levels, increasing your risk of heart disease.

4 Tips to Measure Your Way to a Healthier You

1. Spray, Don’t Pour:

• The Problem: Pouring oil can lead to excessive consumption.
• The Solution: Use an oil sprayer. Each spray delivers a precise amount, significantly reducing calorie and fat intake.

2. Scoop, Don’t Slather:

• The Problem: Dipping into the peanut butter jar can result in larger-than-intended portions.
• The Solution: Measure your serving using a tablespoon. This simple act can save you hundreds of calories and grams of fat.

3. Measure, Don’t Guess:

• The Problem: Rushing through meal prep can lead to inaccurate measurements.
• The Solution: Measure dressings, oils, and creamers. It may seem tedious, but it’s worth it in the long run.

4. Trim and Drain:

• The Problem: Visible fat in meat can add unnecessary calories and saturated fat.
• The Solution: Trim excess fat from meat before cooking and drain ground meat after cooking to remove excess grease.

By implementing these simple tips, you can take control of your fat intake and make healthier choices. Remember, every small step counts.
