Why are steaming or boiling better than frying in a low-fat diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: These methods require little or no added oil or fat
Steaming and boiling generally require little or no added oil, ghee, or butter, so they help control added fat and energy. Fried foods may absorb considerable oil and become more energy-dense. Sodium does not automatically increase during these methods; it depends mainly on added salt or salty ingredients. Cooking method should be combined with balanced food choices.
