Love a friends meme even though it doesn’t really relate to the post 😆
Eating fat does not mean you will gain body fat.
Fat is just calories. You will only gain body fat if you eat more then you burn.
What you will need to be aware of is that fat is more calories dense than the other macros.
1g of fat is 9 calories
1g of protein is 4 calories
1g of carbs is 4 calories
This means that portion control with fat is key as it can be very easy to over eat.
Why is fat so important?
Its essential for optimal health
It’s a source of energy
Support cell growth
Fat helps the absorption of some nutrients
Fat also supports hormone health
What are good sources of fat?
Aim for healthy fats where you can. Avocado, nuts, olive oil, oily fish, eggs
What about saturated fat, is it super bad??
To much of anything is a bad thing, just moderate but include it if you want to.

The issue I have is if I select low fat alternatives to try and moderate then the sugar content is much higher. Sugar and I are not friends. I love it but it does not love me. It actually makes me feel unwell. I have sugar hangovers. It also causes pain in my muscles and joints. So I have to go for higher fat, less sugar.

Higher fat is fine as long as you are mindful of the type of fats and your portion sizes are not much bigger than you think they are if fat loss is a goal. It’s very easy to over consume. X
