As a nutritionist, I am always asked what fats are good for me?
Unsaturated fats are good for you.
Sources: fish and plant foods.
There are two kinds:
Polyunsaturated fats : should be less than 7% of your total calories
Monounsaturated fats: should be less than 14% of your total calories.
The mediterranean diet is rich in monounsaturated fats. Which can lower your risk of Cardiovascular disease.

Canola oil
Nuts (pecans, almonds )
