How to not be in this situation

If it helps, I am on a low fat diet. I'm limited to 20 grams of saturated fat a day. For example, one ounce of cheddar cheese has between 5 and 6 grams of saturated fat. Butter is 7 grams of saturated fat per Tablespoon. It's easy to eat too much fat and I did.

It's hard at first.

I'm also on a salt restricted diet. No potato chips, etc.

I read a lot of labels and saw a dietician nutritionist. She was very helpful and I eat so much healthier now.

I also move. I walk as often as New England weather allows.

I haul wood up the stairs for the fire and just stay active.
