• Fats:
• Fat is a very dense source of energy. It has
more than twice the calories per gram than
protein or carbohydrate.
• Cutting back on fat is the best way to reduce
the total number of calories in your diet.
• Animal foods such as meats and dairy
products can be a source of hidden fats.
• Carbohydrates:
• It is easy to get too many calories by eating or
drinking too much sugar or simple CHO.
• Try to limit sweets, soda, and fruit drinks. They
give few nutrients and no fiber.
• Choose complex carbohydrates instead. They
give you lots of nutrients and fiber without as
many calories.
• They are found in whole grains, vegetables, and
dried beans.
