Excess fat in ready meals is never good for you. It doesn't matter if it's soup or a main course, vegetable stew or meat delicacies. All of them are good only if the ingredients are balanced.

We'll tell you what simple tricks will reduce the fat content of dishes without compromising the taste.

1. If meat is used as an ingredient, you need to remove excess fat. If these are dishes with minced meat, then cook it at home, and do not buy a semi-finished product - this way you can control the amount of fat.

2. If you prepare the broth in advance, you can cool it and skim off any remaining fat before you cook something with it.

3. Dairy products, if added according to the recipe, should be chosen with a low fat content. For example, only one glass of milk with a fat content of 3.2% contains 6.4 grams of this substance in live form.

4. Do not pour vegetable oil by eye, but measure it out with tablespoons. This is especially important when preparing salads from fresh vegetables.

5. Instead of frying in a frying pan, bake the products in the oven and not in a form treated with oil, but on parchment. By the way, even in a frying pan you can fry fish or meat without fat if you use parchment.

6. Any nutritionist will support this point. By including more vegetables and fruits in your diet, which can be added to meat products with the same success, you can make food more beneficial for your body.
