For those confused about fat content

This may help..... Fat-free indicates less than .5 a gram of fat per serving. Low-fat is 3 grams of fat or less per serving. Reduced-fat is 25% less of the specified nutrient or calories than the regular version. Light means one third fewer calories or half the fat of the usual food. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

Low fat and high sugar or any additional ingredients does you little good in weight loss. Calories are calories. ============ Quoting from carivan: To add to that, watch out for the added sugars that producers use to replace the fat. ============= -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
