To Be “Low-Fat” Or Not to Be

There are many labels out there that claim their “low-fat” content, but most are untrue. Mainly you want to look for dairy products and any packaged, canned and frozen foods that say low-fat, fat-free or lite on them. These foods usually have their fat content replaced with sugar or flour. For example, sour cream, yogurt, cheese, granola bars, cookies, and non-dairy creamer. Some other high fat or sugar foods to stay away from are packaged lunch meats, sport drinks and sodas including diet ones. Watch out for prepared salads, they can contain high amounts of fat hidden in dressing, mayo, tuna and chicken.

Real foods with low-fat content are 1% milk, plain 1% yogurt, lean ground beef and any fresh fruits and vegetables. So, really there is no easy way out to eating right. If you want a healthy meal or snack with no bad fats or sugar, go all natural the best you can and prepare and cook your meals.

I did do some research on what frozen foods we can eat that are decent. Here is a list and some notes on why there brand and ingredients are okay for us to eat.

1. Bell & Evans Breaded Coconut Chicken Tenders: They are fried in NON-hydrogenated oil= no trans-fat!

2. Lean Cuisine Spa Cuisine Chicken in Peanut Sauce

3. Birds Eye Steam Fresh, Fresh Frozen Veggies: nothing added, fresh!

4. Alexia Sweet Potato Julienne Fries: have more nutrients than white potatoes and are low in sodium.

5. Frozen Veggie Burger, Garden Burger Portabella

6. Veggie Dinner, Amy’s Brown rice and veggie bowl.

7. Cedarlane low-fat beans, rice and cheese style burrito: no trans fat

8. Lean Cuisine’s Cheese pizza: best brand for frozen dinners, but still check the ingredients on all their frozen foods.

9. Cedarlane Veggie Lasagna

10. Van’s Hearty oats Berry Boost Waffles: calcium, oats and omega-3’s.

I hope this is helpful to you. Just remember to look out for the bad fats and sugars and don’t worry about the calories so much.
