It's OK, but it would be much better and probably healthier if you
left out the oils and soy sauce and just ate the vegetables, I think.
That's what I do anyway. dkw

There's really not much oil in the whole thing. How much oil could there be
in a single serving? And don't we need some fat in our diet?

Very funny. No there isn't much, but the problem with fat is that it
is highly concentrated....it's all energy. There is no water, no
fiber...nothing except 9 cal per gram. You don't have to add fat to
get fat in your diet. There is fat in the vegetables you used. There
is enough fat in fruits and vegetables and grains to give you the
essential fats and more. It is almost impossible to eat fewer than 10%
fat (compared to total calories) if you eat almost anything even if it
is listed as 0 fat.

Time will tell if you need to add fat to your diet but I don't think
you need to. I know it tastes really good, and people do not want to
hear that it might not be good for them because it is too drastic a
diet change for most people to go to a low-fat diet. Also, many and
perhaps yourself, have really looked into it and believe that you
should eat a higher fat diet. The govt. agrees and says up to 30% of
your diet can be fat. They do not say that that is good for you though
and many people, such as Dean Ornish recommend keeping the diet very
low in fat...under 10%. That's the diet I follow. It works really well
for me anyway. dkw

Oh ya, the way to figure the percent of fat (the govt. says no more
than 30% fat), you should eat, you have to take fat calories and
divide that by the total calories. In this case, that is 124/172=0.72
and that means 72% of the calories come from fat, making this a very
high fat dish. A Big Mac with cheese is 50% fat by contrast. While the
serving size is modest and you could make up for this indulgence,
people watching their weight and fat content need to be aware of fat
content and what the numbers mean. PS: the 13.7g. of fat in this one
serving is pushing the upper limit of what low-fat diets recommend for
the entire day. dkw

I still say that there's very little fat in this recipe. And the fat makes
it much more palatable and satisfying. In the whole, it's a very healthy
dish.

True. I like Big Macs, double quarter pounders with cheese, french
fries, peanut butter, and Dairy Queen butterscotch sundaes, but I
don't eat them. If the dish was low calorie I would be
interested....and if you leave out the oil, it is. dkw
