It is not about counting calories, doing cardio exercise, fab diets. But it is about understanding how the body works and what is inside our food. It is also about changing your lifestyle and mindset.

Fats in cooking oil

http://www.healthgoods.com/education/health_information/Healthy_Beat_Program/fat_and_cardiovascular_system.htm

It is recommended that a diet of 1200 calories should consists of not more than 40 grams of fat(13 gram of saturated fat). I am taking in at 60grams a day on average. The main source of fat comes from cooking oil. Time to figure out way to reduce the amount of oil I used for cooking and maybe buy a new non-stick wok for frying. A sad thing about non-stick coating on the wok is that it is cancer creating when ingested. Well well well... what do we do when one change or another will create a negative effect on our health?

Just how many types of cooking oils are there? I should do a detail read up on cooking oil, healthy and unhealthy ones.

Are there any guidelines on estimating how much cooking oil to use for stir fried vegetables? How much fats in a snack is too much?

Sadly, processed food and resturant food are just too high in fats. I guess it is either food sticking to the pan or faster turnout of meals.
