3 Day Diet Analysis: Fat Info Finder

The next nutritional tool that I used from the HPB website was the Fat Info Finder. Using this tool, I typed in two food items that I ate during the 3 day period when I had recorded down my diet. The tool then provided me with information on the amount of fats in the products. Here are the results provided by the tool. Full Cream Milk, Fluid

Serving Size :  250g (1 cup) Per serving Total Fat (g) :  9.5 Saturated Fat (g) :  6.3 Trans Fat (g) :  0.19 Maggi Instant Noodles - Curry Flavour    Serving Size :  1 serving (1 packet) Per serving Total Fat (g) :  19 Saturated Fat (g) :  11 Trans Fat (g) :  0 Based on these results, I can conclude that the amount of fats that I take in when consuming these two products are average, although they could be lowered further by finding healthier alternatives. The full cream milk also has trans fat, which if consumed in great amounts can cause serious health problems such as heart diseases. Hence, I will look for alternatives to this full cream milk- one that preferably does not have any trans fat at all. As for the Maggi Instant Curry Noodles, although such types of instant noodles are generally not considered that healthy, when consumed in moderation is alright. It has the "healthier choice" symbol on it, which indicates that it is indeed quite a healthy choice of food if not consumed too often- it does have quite some fats but the amount of fats it has is significantly lower than that of normal brands of instant noodles.
