Do you try to avoid fat to save as many calories as possible? Fat is an essential nutrient for a healthy body.
Finding the right fats
Fat provides your body with energy (9 kcal per g) and essential fatty acids. It also absorbs and transports the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) and carries flavour and aroma additives. You should therefore produce 25-30% of your daily energy from the fat consumed as a part of your diet. In doing so however, you should pay attention to the type of fat as there are major differences in the quality of them.
