Good sources of healthy fat
Fat is an important part of a healthy diet. It adds flavor and is necessary for energy, transporting vitamins, healthy skin and hair, and insulation. A high fat diet is a major contributor to obesity. The American Heart Association recommends less 30% of daily caloric intake comes from fat with less than 10% of that being saturated fats (animal sources such as butter, whole milk dairy products, and meats). Refer to FDA's Department of Health and Human Services site to learn how to read nutritional labels to determine percentages. Below is a list of unsaturated fats you could choose to include in your eating plan.
