Fat intake a matter of choice Canadians typically consume about 40 per cent of their calories from fat. The recommended fat intake is in the range of 30 to 35 per cent of calories. In addition, much of the typical fat intake comes from animal sources which can be high in saturate fat and cholesterol. What does this mean to you as you prepare meals? It's a matter of choice. There are better choices to make. Fat is -one of the substances that makes food taste good, so you do not want to eliminate it entirely. Also, our bodies require small amounts of fat for various functions --- transportation of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), as a con- centrated source of energy, and for the protection and insulation of certain organs, ff you are interested in cutting down your fat intake, look carefully at the amounts of animal foods you -consume. Choosing a smaller portion will not only lower your saturated fat intake, it will decrease the cholesterol in your "diet as well. Other good choices for low-fat main meals make use of dried peas, beans and lentils. These legumes do not contain cholesterol and are good sources of fibre. When preparing food for your family, choose a polyunsaturated fat. These fats are liquid at room temperathre. Some good choices are safflower, corn, sunflower, ,and soybean oils. For a table fat, choose a margarine with a two -to -one ratio of polyunsaturates to saturates. Choose low fat or partly -skimmed dairy produtts. Again, because these products are animal in origin, some contain a high percentage of saturated fat. When buying meats, fish or poul- try, choose leaner cuts. There may still be some visible fat to trim or skin to remove before cooking as in the following recipe from "The - Lighthearted Cookbook" by Anne Lindsay. This cookbook is available from your local Heart and Stroke ha,m Sali G oun on o ntario representa- tive.
