🥑 Macronutrients 101 – FATS! 🍳 (Part 3)

Fats have been demonized for years—but they are essential for your body to function properly! ❌🚫 Cutting them out completely is NOT the answer.

🔹 Why do we need fats?
✅ Hormonal health – They play a huge role in estrogen & testosterone production.
✅ Brain function – Your brain is 60% fat—so no, low-fat diets won’t make you smarter! 🤓
✅ Cell function & recovery – Every single cell in your body needs fat to function properly.
✅ Vitamin absorption – Vitamins A, D, E & K are all fat-soluble, meaning they need fats to be absorbed.

🔹 Best sources of healthy fats?
🥑 Avocados
🌰 Nuts & seeds
🐟 Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines)
🫒 Olive oil
🍳 Egg yolks

Yes, fats are higher in calories (9kcal per gram vs. 4kcal for carbs/protein), but they are also more satiating and play a key role in balancing your hormones, metabolism & overall health.

Instead of fearing fats, focus on quality and portion control—and ditch the “low-fat” marketing gimmicks that often replace fats with sugar!
