Eat a Variety of Healthy Fats Daily In your daily calorie intake, about 30% of your calorie consumption should be coming from a few varieties of healthy fats. Many people are still fat-phobic and do not get enough each day. Healthy fats like avocado, nuts, olive oil, fatty fish, and seeds like flax or chia keep our bodies in balance and our metabolism optimized. Fats are the most energy-dense macronutrient and therefore provide us with plenty of energy for our day and our exercise routine. Like protein, fats also are highly satiating, which means we feel full and satisfied after eating, and less likely to give in to cravings. But if your diet isn’t varied in the different types of healthy fats, your system could be out of whack a bit. Try avocado at one meal, nuts at the next, and then switch that up the next day with a chia smoothie and some salmon for dinner. The more variety you can achieve, the better.
