To make these stats even easier to understand, we've converted the amount of Sat Fat in each meal into the percentage of your Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) of Sat Fat*. This way you can see, out of the GDA of saturated fat – which is 20g – what percentage of this a portion of the meal takes up.
* Based on GDA for an adult woman.
If you make the same meal but using the methods described here, you could reduce the amount of saturated fat per portion to 4g (20% of your GDA - within recommended target per meal)
If you make the same meal but using the methods described here, you could reduce the amount of saturated fat per portion to 2g (10% of your GDA - within recommended target per meal)
Picnic and packed lunch foods can contain a lot of saturated fat, particularly all those with pastry, such as quiche, sausage rolls, pork pies etc. Try these as alternatives:
If you replace quiche with an alternative like vegetable pizza, that would be 7g per portion (35% of your GDA - reduced but still 2% over recommended intake per meal, so you can still enjoy this meal but will need to make sure the other meals you eat during that day are very low in saturated fat so you stay on track for the Recommended Intake of 20g in total per day)
If you make the same meal but using the methods described here, you could reduce the amount of saturated fat per portion to 1g (5% of your GDA - within recommended target per meal)
If you make the same meal but using the methods described here, you could reduce the amount of saturated fat per portion to 5g (25% of your GDA - within recommended target per meal)
If you make the same meal but using the methods described here, you could reduce the amount of saturated fat per portion to 7g (35% of you GDA - reduced but still 2% over recommended intake per meal, so you can still enjoy this meal but will need to make sure the other meals you eat during that day are very low in saturated fat so you stay on track for the Recommended Intake of 20g in total per day)
If you make the same meal but using the methods described here, you could reduce the amount of saturated fat per portion to 7g (35% of your GDA - reduced but still 2% over recommended intake per meal, so you can still enjoy this meal but will need to make sure the other meals you eat during that day are very low in saturated fat so you stay on track for the Recommended Intake of 20g in total per day)
If you make the pie with top crust only, you could reduce the amount of saturated fat per portion to 10g (50% of your GDA - reduced but still 17% over recommended intake per meal, so you can still enjoy this meal but will need to make sure the other meals you eat during that day are very low in saturated fat so you stay on track for the Recommended Intake of 20g in total per day)
