Fat can be found in some butters, oils, some meat or parts of meat, dairy products, eggs.

The use a low fat diet, substitutions would have to be made for example:

(1) using egg whites instead of eggs

(2)low fat milk, low fat cheese, cottage cheese and low fat yogurts instead of normal dairy products

(3)low fat butter, using olive oil or corn oil. Avoid using fried foods, used baked or grilled foods

(4)Meat- lean white aspect of chicken (the breast), turkey

Lean aspects of beef, ham, pork

Shellfish as well

The above basically constitutes a low fat diet
