Healthy Fat Tips
Prioritize monounsaturated fats (50%) from olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds for heart health.
Include polyunsaturated fats (30%) especially omega-3s from fish, walnuts, flaxseed, and chia seeds.
Limit saturated fats (20%) from coconut oil, dairy, and lean meats to maintain cardiovascular health.
Avoid trans fats completely - they're found in partially hydrogenated oils and processed foods.
Fat provides 9 calories per gram, more than twice the calories from protein or carbohydrates.
Essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) must come from diet as the body cannot produce them.
Fat is crucial for absorbing vitamins A, D, E, and K, and for hormone production.
Very low-fat diets (<20% calories) can impair hormone function and vitamin absorption.
Cook with stable fats like olive oil or avocado oil; avoid overheating which damages fats.
Quality matters: choose whole food fats over processed oils and fried foods for best health.
