How Much Fat and Sodium A Day?

Greetings!

It's Good Friday, and I'm at home today!

There'll be a bit of indulgence at my partner's parents' place, as they'll be having fish and every sort of seafood, and beer. Honestly... I'll enjoy myself today. I won't abuse myself eating, of course, but I'll just enjoy myself today.

Speaking of which... have you ever wondered what is the maximum amount of fat and sodium you're allowed to have on a daily basis?

I was reading the March 06 edition of Choice Magazine this morning and found out.

According to them

An average woman should be aiming for no more than 70 g fat per day, an average man 90 g.

But how much is 70 g of fat? Well, that's 1 teaspoon of fat for every 5 g, or 1 Tbsp equals 20 g.

As to sodium, your intake should not be over 2,300 mg a day.

Now, take this into account: the above amounts are the maximum. You should not go above or near this amount anyway. Your aim is to keep it lower, much lower than the maximum.

This is because by doing that, you're allowing your body to process a reasonable amount of fat and sodium so that it does not affect you.

And you don't have to eat cardboard boring tasting diet food for that. Just take the time to plan your meals incorporating healthy recipes, low fat - low sodium - recipes. If you take the time to look for them, you'll find many deliciuos meals you can make yourself that are also low in fat.

You can find some here in my blog.

Have a Happy Easter!

Yours in Health,
