Why is it important to read a label carefully when you see a claim for low-fat, reduced-fat or non-fat?

Accepted Answer

Low-fat, reduced-fat and non-fat products, if incorporated into the diet on a regular basis, can significantly reduce the amount of fat consumed but may or may not reduce the amount of energy consumed. For example, drinking skim milk instead of whole milk will reduce both fat and energy intake.

Eating fat-free foods does not mean that you're not getting any kcal or that you can eat as much as you want without gaining weight. Manufacturers may add additional kcal from sugar to increase the flavour of low-fat, reduced-fat and non-fat foods.
