Reduced fat isn't always the lowest calorie option

[Girl27]

I did my weekly shop this morning and was shocked to see that colmans seafood sauce has less cals than asdas reduced fat seafood sauce. I'm so glad I spent the time looking at the info. Also I presumed the plain microwave rice would be lowest in cals but the pilau had 88 less cals per half the pack.

Most of the time reduced fat means more sugar too!
