Counting Fat Grams

In previous kits you have learned “Foods to Choose” and “Foods to Decrease/Avoid” for a healthy diet. You have also learned how to measure and record servings of foods from the four food groups in your Food Diary. We have provided a daily meal plan that recommends a specific number of servings from each food group. This is an easy way for you to know how much to eat.

There is one more skill that will help you control the number of calories and the amount of fat you eat. In this kit you will:

Step 1.        Know your daily target number of fat grams

Step 2.        Record the grams of fat from the foods you eat
