NO!! The type of fat you eat is just as important as the amount. Fats can be grouped according to their structure as shown in the following table: Fat Type Rich Food Source How much we should eat? Saturated Meats, Milk, Butter, Cheese, fast Food Less than 1/3 of all fat Mono-unsaturated Olive Oil, Canola Oil, Avocado, Monosaturated Margarines About 1/3 of all fat Poly-unsaturated Safflower and Sunflower oils, Polyunsaturated Margarines About 1/3 of all fat All fats have the same high kilojoule level and most Australians eat too much fat - especially saturated fat. This type of fat raises the blood cholesterol level increasing the risk of heart disease. Mono-unsaturated fats actually help lower blood cholesterol while polyunsaturated fats are also of benefit. Eggs are a low fat food containing less than six grams of fat per egg. The type of fat is mostly unsaturated making them an excellent food to include in a low-fat diet.
