Great quiz. Thanks, Elaine. Like Barb, I didn't have time to do the test formally but ran through in my head. Got quite a few correct---and quite a few wrong. And, in a perfect world, Reeses Peanut Butter cups WOULD be a low fat treat!

[Barb135]

Welcome back, Elaine.  I'm sorry to say I didn't have time yet to actually sit down and do the test, but I did run through it quickly in my  head. I think I got a few of them right.  I'll try to take the test "properly" this evening, without looking at the answers.

1.Correct Answer:  Thigh & Wing
Dark meat is generally fattier. However, white meat on the wing is also fatty.
2.Correct Answer:  4, 3, 2, 1
Diet Center Cinnamon Toasties contain 0 gms. of fat; whereas, chocolate chip cookies may contain an average of 8 gms. of fat.
3.Correct Answer:  Eggplant parmigiana with a side of spaghetti
Spaghetti with red or white clam sauce, tomato sauce, or meat sauce is even lower in fat.
4.Correct Answer:  False
Five gms. of fat flunks the FDA's definition "low fat" (i.e. 3 gms or less). Whole milk contains 8 gms. of fat; whereas, skim milk contains 0-1 gms. fat.
5.Correct Answer:  KFC mashed potatoes and gravy & McDonalds milkshake
If you're going low-fat then mashed potatoes and gravy or a milkshake contain about a gram of fat; whereas the fries and muffin rack up to 20 and 16 gms. fat, respectively.
6.Correct Answer:  White Castle Fish Sandwich
White Castle fish sandwich wins by a total of 5 gms. fat and 200 mgs. sodium. Coming in at the top of the fat gm. list is Burger King Big Fish with 43 gms. fat and a whopping 1,110 mgs. sodium.
7.Correct Answer:  Chicken roll
Unless the ham is a specialty product with low-fat ingredients, you are better off with the chicken roll. Chicken and tuna salad are loaded with fat unless you use non-fat mayonnaise.
8.Correct Answer:  One-half
One-half of the fat in chicken is in the skin. A 4 oz. chicken breast with skin has 9 gms. fat and a 4 oz. drumstick with skin pulls in 13 gms. fat.
9.Correct Answer:  15 gms.
There are 15 gms. of fat in regular ground turkey because ground turkey and chicken contain skin. However, ground turkey breast is as low in fat as Healthy Choice ground beef or turkey breast.
Furthermore, lab testing has shown that ground beef (any cut) when cooked, drained in a colander and rinsed in boiling water will reduce fat to an equivalent of skinless chicken or turkey breast.
10.Correct Answer:  True
An ounce of peanuts whether dry-roasted or oil-roasted contains an average of 14 gms. of fat.
11.Correct Answer:  Chicken thigh with skin
Even if you skin the chicken thigh, you still end up with more than twice the fat of a veal leg or pork tenderloin.
12.Correct Answer:  4, 5, 3, 1, 2
An ounce of pretzels has just 1 gm. of fat. Then the "light" microwave popcorn (2-4 gms.), "light" potato chips (6 gms.), tortilla chips (7-9 gms.), and corn chips (8-10 gms.). Try our Diet Center low fat snack line (see ad display).
13.Correct Answer:  McDonalds McGrilled Chicken Sandwich
Watch out for McDonalds Chicken Sandwich with 20 gms. of fat. The others range from 7-10 gms. fat (sodium levels average 800 mgs.)
14.Correct Answer:  Denny's FIT FARE Grilled Breast of Chicken
Go for Denny's Breast of Chicken at 9 gms. fat and 990 mgs. sodium. Olive Garden's Shrimp Primavera has twice the amount (23 gms. fat, 2,210 mgs. sodium) then Chili's Fajitas (30 gms. fat, 3,190 mgs. sodium) and last but most is Chi Chi's Quesadilla (39 gms. fat, 2,230 mgs. sodium).
15.Correct Answer:  1, 2, 4, 3
Run for your life when it comes to Chinese food. Stir fry vegetables average 19 gms. fat (2,153 mgs. sodium), followed by the beef with broccoli dish (46 gms. fat, 3,146 mgs. sodium), then Moo shu pork (64 gms. fat, 2,593 mgs. sodium), and the highest in fat is awarded to Kung Pao chicken (76 gms. fat, 2,668 mgs. sodium).
16.Correct Answer:  Diet Center® Rich Chocolate Fudge Bar
Yes, you guessed it! Diet Center Fudge Bars have 1 gm. fat and 90 calories. It is also a rich source of calcium. Indulging in a few Hershey's Kisses will land you 9 gms. fat.
17.Correct Answer:  Burger King Chunky Chicken Salad w/ Lite Italian
It is not the salad that will get you with fat and calories, but the dressing packet that comes with it. Burger King salad and dressing has a moderate fat content of 5 gms. and the rest average 30 gms. fat for salad and dressing.
18.Correct Answer:  Mr. Turkey turkey Bun-Size Franks
Mr. Turkey Franks rank first with 11 gms. fat. The rest of the hot dogs on this list provide 1-2 gms. fat on average.

Bacon bits and sour cream have just a couple gms. of fat. One tbsp. (3 pats) of "light" margarine has 6 gms. fat and butter has 11 gms. fat.
20.Correct Answer:  Boca Burger
In an average 2.5 oz. serving, the Boca Burger has no fat, followed by Green Giant's Harvest Burger (4 gms). Ground beef and the tofu burger each average 10 gms. fat. Except for the ground beef burger, these commercial burgers are made of soy products.
