Tip of the Week
Very lean meat or meat substitutes contain 7 grams of protein, 0 to 1 fat gram, and 35 calories per "exchange." (An exchange is typically a 1-ounce serving of meat; amounts vary for items like cottage cheese and peanut butter.)
*Lean meat or meat substitutes contain 7 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, and 55 calories per exchange.
*Medium-fat meat and substitutes contain 7 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and 75 calories per exchange.
*High-fat meat and substitutes contain 7 grams of protein, 8 grams of fat, and 100 calories per exchange. (Incidentally, two tablespoons of peanut butter equals one high-fat meat exchange plus two fat exchanges. But donīt shy away from peanut butter. Its unsaturated fat is good for you.)
