Talkin' Fats

Of the 3 macronutrients, fats tend to get the worst rap. Sure, people foolishly still fear carbs, but it's fats that I find scare people the most. Like any other macronutrient, it's all about ingesting the more nutritious type. Below I've assembled a list of fats to avoid and fats to incorporate:

"Bad" (Saturated)

• fatty red meats (beef, lamb)


• butter and margarine


• fried foods

"Good" (Unsaturated)

• Avocados


• Nuts (i.e. walnuts and almonds)


• Olives


• Fatty fish (i.e. salmon and mackerel)
