LOW FAT CHIPS

Abstract

The National Advisory Committee on Nutrition Education recently published a report containing long term dietary proposals. One of these is a reduction in fat consumption. Fats provide approximately 38% of the energy of an average British diet. This amounts to 110g fat daily in a diet with a total energy value of 2,500Kcal. It is recommended that this figure be reduced to 30% energy from fat, requiring a reduction in fat consumption of one quarter.
