For an averageâ€"sized, moderately active adult who eats about 2,000 calories, that translates to about 65 grams of fat each day. Adding fat â€" like margarine or butter on bread and vegâ€" etables, mayonnaise in salads or cream in coffee â€" is the most obvious way. Frying foods also requires adding oil and other fat.

"Although it‘s done outside of class, the children do special activiâ€" ties like bake something in the school kitchen, and they‘re encourâ€" aged to share their baking with the other children. It makes them feel like they‘ve done something really great."
