[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 489360, member: 6705"] OK. You can do low cholesterol without sacrificing calories. I can't imagine using cream on cereal. Blech. How about 1/2 yogurt and 1/2 skim? Lower fat sour cream works in recipes just fine. Eggs are not the enemy. No more than 2 a day, though. In cakes, you can replace 1/2 the oil with applesauce. Olive oil just rocks. Even in brownies. Speaking of, they make oleo from olive oil now - tastes much better than the veg oil stuff, to me. Carbs, unless he is diabetic, are not a problem. Um, how about frozen yogurt instead of ice cream? And for dessert - fresh fruit! Make a dressing from 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp honey. YUM. And not so sweet. No ice cream needed, now. If you make that carrot cake, do the applesauce thing for half the oil. Use 3 egg whites and 2 whole eggs. It's a cut back thing, not NONE. As my dad puts it, HDL - Happy Cholesterol - is good. LDL - Lousy Cholesterol - is bad. Oh, and watch those darned trans fats. Potato chips - get baked ones. They're wonderful. [/QUOTE]
