Dietary Fat Guidelines

Dietary fat guidelines recommend choosing healthy fats, like those from nuts, seeds, avocados, and oily fish, while limiting saturated fats found in red meat and full-fat dairy. Trans fats, often found in processed foods, should be avoided. Fats are essential for energy, hormone production, and cell health, but consuming them in moderation is key. The general advice is to make most fat sources unsaturated, keep intake within daily calorie limits, and balance fat consumption with other nutrients for overall health.
