Make foods from scratch
Instead of buying pre-prepared meals from the supermarket, try making the dish yourself at home. Pre-prepared meals can be less healthy as they often contain more saturated fat and salt than if you had made it from scratch. By making the dish yourself, you have more control over the ingredients and can make some simple food swaps like those suggested above. This means you can make the dish healthier and reduce the fat content.
