Fat
Fat is a type of nutrient found in many foods. Fat helps your body absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K. It also provides energy and makes food taste good.
Too much fat can lead to weight gain and health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The best way to get the right amount of fat is to eat a variety of healthy foods.
There are four main types of fat: saturated, unsaturated, trans, and omega-3 fats. Saturated fats are found in animal products such as meat and dairy.
Unsaturated fats are found in plant oils such as olive oil and canola oil. Trans fats are found in processed foods such as margarine, crackers, and baked goods. Omega-3 fats are found in fish, nuts, and seeds.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that you limit your saturated fat intake to no more than 5-6% of your total daily calories. For a 2,000-calorie diet, this would be about 16 grams of saturated fat per day.
The AHA also recommends limiting your trans fat intake to less than 1% of your total daily calories. This means eating no more than 2 grams of trans fat per day on a 2,000-calorie diet.
Healthy fats are an important part of a healthy diet. But it’s important to eat the right kinds of fat and to limit your intake of saturated and trans fats. By doing this, you can lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other health problems.
