How much fat do one chapati contain?
Say a cooked chapati weighs 35 grams. Of that, assume 5 grams to be the water weight, leaving 30 grams of flour weight in the chapati. For whole-wheat flour, the protein content is about 13%, and 11.5% for 'normal' flour. So, a whole-wheat flour chapati has about 4 grams of protein, while a 'normal' flour chapati has about 3.5 grams.
What foods have unsaturated fats in?
The are two different types of Unsaturated fat, Monounsaturates and Polyunsaturates. If the question is which foods contain little or no saturated fat, you'll probably find it difficult to find many foods that are included in the answer. Generally, processed meals are higher in saturates, as well as most dairy products (especially cheese).
You should be fine eating anything that has been made from fresh ingredients, though. Meat, vegetables, nuts and egg are enough to make countless healthy meals.
About 20g per serving. This is a rough, catch all estimate though.
How do you reduce fats in cookies?
There are a couple of ways to reduce the fat content in the foods you prepare and reduce the fat content in your overall diet:
1) In meats or meat dishes: Trim away excess fat found on the edges of beef steaks, pork chops, or other red meats. Strain (and temporarily reserve) prepared ground meats before adding additional ingredients. (If the recipe is too dry, you can always add back a tablespoon at a time, but at least you can control the amount of fat you need.) Prepare chicken dishes with only white mean, and remove skin and excess fat before cooking. Use canola oil for any deep-frying needs, or instead pan-fry in a non-stick pan using a small amount of olive oil. To reduce fat even further, broil, grill, or bake on a rack rather than fry at all. When preparing eggs, use only the whites rather than the whole egg.
2) In other recipes, substitute a less saturated fat. For example, butter, lard, or shortening can be substituted with canola or safflower oils in many preparations. (Note: Because of the chemistry involved in baking, substitutions do not work for most pastries.)
3) At the grocery store: Look for reduced fat products such as skim milk, or cheeses made with skim milk. Often they are labeled 'Light' or 'Lite', but this is not necessarily an indication of 'Reduced Fat'. Check nutrition labels to be sure.
Why do fats and oils contain more chemical energy per gram than carbohydrates or protein?
