I discovered over the years that if I kept in mind the calories in fat and sugar in the foods that I consumed that I was better able to control my weight. Too much fat not good. Too much sugar not good. It’s that simple.
FAT:
Margarine:
1 teaspoon = 34 calories
1 tablespoon = 102 calories
Oil:
1 teaspoon = 40 calories
1 tablespoon = 119 calories
SUGAR:
White granulated:
1 teaspoon = 15 calories
1 tablespoon = 46 calories
Brown sugar:

1 tablespoon = 52 calories
