If a patient needs to reduce excess fat intake, which change can be useful?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reducing fried food and using boiling or steaming
Deep-frying usually adds considerable fat because food absorbs oil during cooking. Replacing fried foods with boiled, steamed, baked, or grilled preparations can reduce added fat while retaining many foods in the meal plan. The total amount of oil and the ingredients used still need to be considered, because some baked or processed foods may also contain fat. Removing vegetables or replacing food with sweet drinks does not control fat appropriately and can reduce diet quality. Hence, option A is the useful change.
