Fat content

lins74 · 5 April 2009

Hi All

I'm a wee bit confused about fat content of food I can have. Can I use a small amount of low fat spread, (lurpak light, etc), if the total fat content of my meal is low? Or am I simply not allowed to use any amount of any food that has high fat???

Thanks for information, Jax.

Lins I've always understood it to mean that we have up to 15g of fat in our meals, where the fat is made up if food that is 5% fat or less. If I remember rightly, low fat spread can still be up something like 37% fat (just checked my flora that the kids use and its 59% fat even though that it has things like omega 3 and 6 fat its still

)

I was never told what All B was about the 5% fat thing. I just weigh out what I am eating according to fat content and my whole meal comes to no more than 15g's of fat.
