Save calories by blotting fat and oil

Are you concerned about the amount of oil and calories included in the meals that you prepare, or in takeaways and ready-made meals?...
These days, as more and more people are becoming increasingly aware of their weight, and the food preparation process in general, it is alarming to see how much oil or fat is contained in the foods we eat.
Amount of oil used
Of course, we have control of how much oil we add to the meals we prepare ourselves at home, but what about the meals that we don’t prepare? Next time you toss a ready-made pie or other food product into the oven, take a few seconds to look at how much oil is released from it.
Healthy oils?
Similarly, takeout foods can be bathed in or with oil. Curries often top this list. What’s even more scary, is asking yourself whether healthy oils were used in the food preparation process.
Blotting saves calories!
Readers Digest suggests blotting your pizza (or french fries or pie) with a serviette or napkin before eating. You may be able to remove anything from a teaspoon to a tablespoon of fat, at about 50 to 100 calories. And that is just from one slice!
