Healthy fats can support heart health and they have other health benefits, but they’re just as high in calories as unhealthy fats. It’s important to keep portions small when you’re managing your weight. You can still get enough!
Here are some portions to aim for when choosing healthy fats.
- 3-4 ounces of fatty fish like salmon or tuna
- 1-2 tablespoons of peanut or almond butter
- ½-1 ounce of peanuts, nuts, or seeds
- ½ of a small avocado
- 1-2 teaspoons of olive or canola oil
