A low-fat diet is high in carbs and protein but low in fat. Meats, legumes, grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat or fat-free goods including low-fat dairy are the mainstays of this eating plan.

Examples of Low-Fat Diet

• Foods made from flour, such as grains and pastas
• Cereals, both warm (oatmeal, grits) and cold (except granola types)
• Pasta or rice (watch out for fat in sauces you may add). Brown rice and other whole grain options are your best bet.
• Bagels, pita bread, and English muffins made with whole grains.
• Crisps and breads made with a fraction of the fat.
• Tortillas, either maize or whole wheat, can be softened by soaking them in water.

Should I Be Consuming More or Less Fat?

Fat consumption should make up 20%-35% of an adult's daily calorie intake, according to most dietary experts. Based on a daily caloric intake of 2,000, that equates to around 44-77 grams of fat.

Learn to read food labels for nutritional information. Serving sizes and calorie counts are listed on nutrition labels. Get all the nutrients you need by eating a wide variety of low-fat foods.

In order to keep your fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, and calorie intake under control, it is recommended that you eat primarily plant-based foods (such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains) and only a small quantity of lean and low-fat animal-based meals (meat and dairy products).

• Go for the leaner cuts of meat and fish when you're at the supermarket. Consume no more than 7–15 ounces every day.
• Dried beans and peas, tofu, low-fat yogurt, low-fat or skim milk, low-fat cheese, and tuna packed in water are also terrific low-fat protein options.
• Select omega-3 fatty acid-rich meals like salmon, flaxseed, and walnuts to protect your heart. Benefit from omega-3 fatty acids by eating fatty fish like salmon twice weekly, as recommended by the American Heart Association.

Here Are 5 Ways to Reduce Fat in Your Meals

• First, chickens should have all of their visible fat trimmed off and their skin removed.
• When serving chilled soups, gravies, or stews, skim off the solidified fat that has risen to the top.
• Third, while cooking meats in the oven, broiler, or on the grill, place them on a rack so the excess fat may drain away. Avoid frying meals.
• Replace cheese, butter, or cream-based sauces with lemon juice, herbs, and spices when serving sautéed veggies.
• Instead of sour cream, try plain, nonfat, or low-fat yogurt with chives on baked potatoes. Even reduced-fat sour cream contains some fat, so use it sparingly.
