Hi , i'm seem to be eating nothing but rubbish in my hectic life , as anyone got a list of food that will be low in fat but high in energy , any links to web sites for furthur info would be much appreciated. Best regards Tubby (but hoping to be calling myself slim soon) Why do you want food that is low in fat? Anyway, bread would be low in fat, but high in "energy", just to name one example. Bananas would be another example of a low fat but relatively high energy food. If you are not willing to spend time to find out about dieting etc, it is better to not even start dieting. i > Hi , i'm seem to be eating nothing but rubbish in my hectic life , as anyone > got a list of food that will be low in fat but high in energy , any links to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Tubby (but hoping to be calling myself slim soon) Thank you > Why do you want food that is low in fat? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > Tubby (but hoping to be calling myself slim soon) Chicken, turkey, fish, bread, low fat yogurt...just to name a few.

Out of 109 calories total, 50% of calories from fat, does not strike me as particularly low fat food. And with skin, it is surely even more than 50%. i > chicken thigh roasted w/o skin, 109 calories, 6 g fat....seems pretty low > fat to me Being the cheapskate that I am, the thigh is virtually the only part of the chicken I buy.

I'm strictly a white meat person -- always have been, nothing to do with dieting -- but DH loves the dark meat. So, like Mr. & Mrs. Sprat, we're a good match :-).

No one in my family likes the breast, except in certain recipes. For roasting, frying, or BBQ, we get "legs" and I stick to the thigh part. Whether or not I eat the skin depends on how much fat/cals I've already had that day... :-) SignatureJ.J. in WA * 275/231.5/1??

Poultry skin is another thing I have never in my life liked :-). When I was a little kid I didn't think I liked chicken because I didn't realize I could take the skin off. I've also always disliked any visible fat on my meats -- to the point that I will gag if I involuntarily get a piece of it in my mouth. But I realize others differ :-). I've never been a big fan of lots of fats. I like oils only in moderation -- am just as happy to eat f/f salad dressings, for example, and really dislike things cooked with too much oil. I do like dairy fats just fine. I've been drinking skin milk since I was a child and don't like any other kind, but I like full fat cheese and ice creams. And butter and things made with it :-). I limit these things nowadays, though. And I like some kinds of relatively fatty fish -- particularly salmon, which I love -- though I don't like the skin of any of them, or the really fatty bits near the skin. And I love nuts.

But I realize others >differ :-). I do like the skin if it's properly cooked and I get a bit bored with fillets with the skin removed. I allow myself the occasional chicken leg with skin on (not basted with any extra fat, though) as long as I work it into my calorie allowance. When I stick to my WOE I find that the proportion of my calories in fat almost always comes out lower than that recommended, while the protein is a bit higher so I can sometimes afford a "fat treat". janice > Chicken, turkey, fish, bread, low fat yogurt...just to name a few.

Many of these contain a lot of sodium and can result in temporary water retention. I believe the Healthy Choice brand has reduced sodium and might help reduce the water retention. I often buy them and don't seem to have a significant problem with them. I also like to make hummus and spread on a tortilla with cucumbers, tomatoes and spring greens. This makes a quick and easy low-cal lunch.
