To control the amount and kind of fat, saturated fat and dietary
cholesterol you eat:

· Select lean cuts of meat and trim off all visible fat before
cooking.
· Serve moderate portions, and try "low-meat" dishes featuring pasta,
rice, beans and/or vegetables.
· Use cooking methods that require little or no fat ? boil, broil,
bake, roast, poach, steam, saute, stir-fry or microwave.
· Replace saturated fats with healthier substitutes. For example,
when your own recipe calls for butter, lard, bacon, bacon fat or
chicken fat, use margarine that contains no more than 2 grams of
saturated fat per 1 tablespoon, or unsaturated vegetable oil.
