High or low fat food? Easy trick for figuring it out

by Steve <veganstirfry@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Oct 13, 2007 at 12:35 PM

I was reading a nutrition forum where I found a post by a guy who
figured out an easy way to tell if a packaged food is high fat or low
fat. This method is so easy, you can do the math in your head.

A food is considered "high fat" is more than 20% of its calories come
from fat.

A food is considered "low fat" if less than 20% of its calories come
from fat.

So, here is this cool, do-math-in-your-head method for figuring out if
a food is high or low fat:

1. Multiply the calories from fat by 5
2. Compare the result from #1 to the Total Calories.
3. If the result from #1 is more than the Total Calories, the food is
high fat
4. If the result from #1 is less than the Total Calories, you have a
low fat food.
