GREAT WEB SITE: To keep fat in check, try to choose foods having less than 1/3 of the calories from fat (listed to the right of calories on the label). Oils and soft margarines may be used in moderation. Saturated fat should make up no more than 1/3 of your total fat grams daily. The less, the better. Limit trans fat to no more than 2 grams per day. Try to choose foods that have enough dietary fiber to get at least 25 grams of fiber daily for regularity, colon health, lower cholesterol levels, and to feel full longer. Note that sodium should be about 2400 mg. per day, which is about 800 mg. per meal. Pay special attention to this if you have a condition that requires you to limit sodium.
