You can reduce your fat intake in a variety of delicious ways. Low-fat mayonnaise has only 15 calories and 1 gram of fat per tablespoon, compared to 90 calories and 10 grams of fat in full- fat versions. Use it in holiday dips, or flavor it with herbs to jazz up your leftover turkey sandwiches. If you’re making pan gravy, skim off the fat from the drippings, either with a spoon or a fat separator. Switch to Whole Grains. Studies show that eating whole grains can lower the risk of many chronic diseases. Add 3/4 cup of uncooked oats for each pound of ground beef or turkey when you make meatballs, burgers or meatloaf.
