Grams of Fat...?

[ditzeeblonde]

Hi all

Total grams of fat per 100g

Is the 5-8 grams total fat or saturates?? Think my prawn mayonnaise may have had too much fat in it & I'm starting to feel a bit sicky... could this be why? x

Most food packaging tells you how much fat content per 100g is saturated fats in brackets after the total fat content.

Thanks Angie but I was wanting to know do we look for foods under 5-8 g of total fat or just the saturates?

Ooops, sorry, I misunderstood what you were asking. This will probably vary from provider to provider & who decides to answer you!!! That 'Return to Slender' book by Carol Bowen Ball (who I know you are going to see soon) recommends trying to limit total fats to less than 3g fat per 100g, but I have read in quite a few places 5g total fat per 100g.

I'm pretty sure it's total fat Linzi. I definitely dumped on prawns in mayo, I felt dreadful! I think prawns have some cholesterol in them too? Not sure though.
