Dietary Fats: Calorie Intake and Weight
Management
The calorie-content of Fats is very high.
So if you are interested in following a calorie-controlled diet in order
to normalize your body weight, regular consumption of Fats is not recommended.
Also, remember that increased calorie expenditure balances increased intake,
and helps maintain an efficient metabolism.
Calorie Counting Has Limits
Although it's important to know the calorific
values of foods like Fats, in order to be aware which ones are especially
calorie-dense, the nutritional value of food is also important. Some carbohydrate
foods and essential fats may be higher in calories but even so are very
important for your health and weight.
Please Note: Calorie values for Dietary
Fats are approximate only.
