While most people are trying to cut sugar, added oil has a much larger effect on weight gain. We usually don’t notice it when poured onto a pan in stir fries, or drizzled on salads. It’s really dense, and while baked vs fried potatoes may appear like the same amount of food visually, anything fried is usually more than double the calories!

Fat has 9 calories per gram while carbs (sugar is a pure carb) has 4 grams. So, if you’re choosing what to cut in a recipe – keep in mind that

one 13 g table spoon of oil has 120 calories!! Same as one medium sweet potato! Whereas sugar has only 48 calories. That’s 2.5 times the difference!
