Here we are giving information about some of the most commonly found fatty foods.
Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are good sources of healthy fats and fiber, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They make great additions to yogurt, smoothies, or oatmeal.
Extra virgin olive oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet and is rich in monounsaturated fats. Use it for cooking, salad dressings, or drizzle it over roasted vegetables.
Salmon, mackerel and sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health and brain function and reducing inflammation. Aim to include fatty fish in your diet a few times a week.
Dark chocolate contains a balanced amount of healthy fats and antioxidants. It has a very high fat content with fat accounting for about 55-65% of the calories.
Coconut and its oil contain saturated fats, but they are considered healthy only in limited quantities. Coconut and coconut products like coconut oil and coconut milk contain medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are metabolized differently than other fats. Coconut oil can be used for cooking or baking.
These soy-based foods are rich in polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Incorporate tofu or edamame into stir-fries or salads.
Not only do these foods provide fat, but they also provide other nutrients, including healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats) and less healthy fats (saturated and trans fats). If you are looking to gain weight by eating fatty foods, then it is important to consume a variety of nutrient-rich foods and have a balanced diet.
