Yоu hаve just been infоrmed by yоur heаlth-cаre provider that your cholesterol level is “borderline high” and that you need to make some changes to eating habits. The health-care provider recommends to focus on cutting back on saturated fats. Your plan is to cut back on your intake of snack foods high in saturated fat and replace them with more nutrient-dense choices. You have been eating three 1-ounce servings of potato chips, and two 1-ounce servings of cheese crackers nightly. You notice from the Nutrition Facts panels on the chips and crackers that each ounce of potato chips (15 chips) is the serving size and provides 160 calories and 1 gram (5% Daily Value) of saturated fat. One serving of the cheese crackers is also one ounce (25 crackers) and has 140 calories and 1.5 grams (8% Daily Value) of saturated fat. Blank 1: How many calories were you consuming from the chips and crackers daily? Blank 2: If you reduced your intake to one serving of crackers and chips per day, how many fewer calories would you consume?
