If you’ve never been able to keep straight the difference between saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats, here’s good news: You don’t have to. The trendy notion that you should trade saturated fats for heart-smarter monounsaturated and polyunsaturated ones is “putting the cart before the horse,” according to Dr.Blackburn. Most of the foods that are highest in total fat—ice cream, cheeseburgers and doughnuts, for example—are also highest in saturated fat. So if you simply cut down on all fatty foods. You’ll cut down on saturated fat as well.
How much fat should you eat? The nutritionist advise following the American Heart Association’s recommendation that total dietary fat comprise no more than 30 percent of calories.
