3. Ghee
Ghee is a favorite ingredient in Indian recipes. It is basically clarified butter with an intense taste. Just a few drops of ghee, add loads of flavor to any food, from veggies to meat. And it does not cause any harm as long as you are consuming a few drops. But, you should keep it in mind that ghee is high in saturated fat and excess consumption can increase your cholesterol levels. Olive oil is a healthy substitute for ghee. You can also combine a teaspoon of olive oil with half a teaspoon of ghee to toss roasted or steamed veggies.
4. Whole-Milk Yogurt
Whole milk products can raise your calorie intake. Therefore, it is important to keep an eye on your portion size. Just 1 cup serving of full fat plain yogurt contains 149 calories. Instead, you can switch to fat free yogurt for a lower calorie intake.
