saturated fat

But something that is calorie dense and full of saturated fat is
a good thing to examine when you're trying to live on a tight calorie
budget.


it's true. it's just so good to have a slice on a sandwich, some sprinkled in
some soup or wheat pasta, or some feta on the salad. i try not to eat more than
a small amount with other parts of the meal. i try to be careful not to eat too
much. thanks.

everyone has a couple pieces of pizza once in awhile though.

well that was just hypothetical, i haven't had a taco in quite awhile. but i do
eat cheese almost everyday. is it bad to eat cheese so frequently, even in
small servings?

I hope not! On the other hand, just look at the size I am...... on the
third hand, "a little of what you fancy", and all that.

I allow myself a cheese sandwich (wholegrain bread, no butter), and have
that with soup, and perhaps some salad, for lunch. And perhaps a
*small* piece of cheese if I need a snack that is basically mouth-feel,
not food.

Also, there is cottage cheese, which is low in fat and calories, and
although it won't always do, it is lovely stirred through (say) a cup of
tabbouleh.

I have also made this delicious salad dressing, which is low in fat and
relatively low in calories:

2 tbsp natural low-fat or fat-free yogurt
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp sugar or honey (I have a garlic-infused honey which is wonderful
in salad dressings)
1/4 tsp mustard powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix and shake.

Well, of course! But you can make your own pizza (daughter and I both
make our own pizzas and actually prefer them, most of the time, to the
bought varieties), and put more vegetables and less cheese on them.

But I do agree, an occasional bought pizza is a necessity! Our local
discount supermarket does the most wonderful Mozarella and tomato pizza
and, best of all, it is Italian-style with the thin crust that I so much
prefer!

If you stay slim and exercise, you will do well if you eat healthy
natural products like cheese or beef or nuts or fish.

Do you consider beef healthy? I've relegated it to my "treats" list - I
will still eat it, but certainly not every week. I think I'd put
"chicken" rather than "beef" on the list.

thanks for the advice. when i buy my own peanut butter i do use natural or
organic. i don't think i need to cut out hamburgers either, but when i can
substitute turkey for beef i think i will, as long as i have the option of
seasoning it well.

Try turkey ham and turkey bacon, too - I personally don't like them
enough to substitute, but some people do.
