List the foods in Mr. Y's diet that are high in fat or simple sugars and suggest an appropriate substitute
1c of salad dressing/day = 720 kcals. He could substitute this with the low-kcal or fat-free dressings that are quite good and have 16 kcals/T or less. This would represent a savings of about 464 kcals/d but would still allow Mr. Y to have a lot of salad dressing. Low-kcal or fat-free margarine could replace regular margarine and butter; baked or broiled foods can replace for fried foods; low-fat or fat-free/low-kcal snacks can substitute for the candy bars, peanuts etc. Sugar substitute can be used in place of sugar. Air-popped pop corn with a butter substitute or the fat-free spray margarine is an excellent substitute for fatty snacks.
