back on any of these foods, right?

Yes, or cook them in ways to reduce the fat content.
For example, broiling meats will lower the amount of fat.

| Wow! I bought some rolls last week without looking for the calorie
content panel. I checked the ingredients and shortening was way down
on the list, just before salt.
It turns out they have 5 grams of fat each. And at 140 calories total,
that's 30% of the calories from fat. That's very high for bread rolls.
The other brand I have has 0.7 grams of fat per roll. Big difference.
