Vegetarian Meals - Low fat?

Are vegetarian meals low in fat? Not always. Some vegetarian meals contain high fat cheeses or sauces. Others may be fried or contain unhealthy fats such as coconut or palm oil. Some contain healthy fats (including many vegetable oils, nuts, seeds and avocado). While good for you in moderation, healthy fats can still provide extra, unneeded calories. When choosing a vegetarian entrée, consider asking about the ingredients and method of preparation.
