Quoting Little Minnie, 12/30/08:
"Remember the percentage of fat is the important thing... So for these: 50 out of 190 calories is just over 25% and ok, even eaten alone. [re: fish sticks]
90 out of 220 calories is over 40% and is too high (unless low fat side dishes are eaten with it to up the cal count and reduce the percentage)." [[chicken nuggets]
Fish sticks look okay, even if they're the only food I eat at any one meal/snack. I'd want bread or potatoes with them, myself.
But, chicken nuggets would only be okay if I eat enough soluble fiber in accompanying foods to level out the fat percentage to an acceptable 24-25%. I need to eat enough potatoes, french bread, rice, etc. to increase the total non-fat calories in the meal which would decrease the fat percentage. That's the concept anyway, I think.
Hope this helps - Happy New Year!
