SOME TIPS FOR LOWERING THE FAT:

* Substitute ingredients with a low-fat version of the same
ingredient. Try using low-fat cheese rather than the whole
milk variety or fat-free mayonnaise instead of regular.

* Use 2 egg whites to replace one whole egg. Try using an
egg substitute they're easy and convenient too.

* Substitute ground turkey breast for ground beef.

* Try sauteing vegetables in a small amount of water, wine
or vegetable broth rather than oil or butter. Use a nonstick
pan, you can reduce the amount of oil or fat used significantly.
One teaspoon of oil should be sufficient if you coat the pan
by brushing the oil on its surface with a pastry brush, or
try a fat free cooking spray.

* Try using less of an extra-sharp version of regular cheese.
The fat content remains the same whether the cheese is mild
or sharp but the flavor increases with less cheese actually
being used.

* When a fat is called for in recipes, try gradually reducing
the amount and comparing the results with the original recipe.
If your recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of butter, try cutting
it down to 1-1/2 tablespoons. If this is successful, try
reducing it further next time. You may be surprised just how
little fat is really needed and remember every little bit helps.
and substitute half applesauce for oil in muffins or cakes ...
