Consider counting your saturated fat intake/day for a typical week. It can be very helpful to know what foods, in your diet, contribute the most to your saturated fat intake. For instance, why worry about a little bite of chocolate, if most of your saturated fat intake comes from 4 steaks/week. Knowing your personal data empowers you to make the most effective changes in a less stressful way!
