Breads and Cereals in Low Fat Diet
Foods from this group are low in fat and cholesterol. Whole grain breads and cereals (oat bran, wheat bran) increase the fibre content of your diet and provide a good source of energy.
NOTE: Avoid baked goods, crackers, and cookies that are high in fat, sugar, and salt. (Many commercially baked goods are high in trans-fat).
The largest source of fat in our diet is the fat we add to our foods, e.g., butter/ margarine on toast or vegetables, cream sauces on pasta, dressings on salads, mayonnaise, fat used for frying etc. Learn more about fat facts.
