Fats and Oils

Fats and oils are the most calorie-dense food group at approximately 9 calories per gram. They range from saturated animal fats (butter, lard) to monounsaturated oils (olive, avocado) and polyunsaturated oils (flaxseed, fish oil). The fatty acid profile varies significantly between sources, and choosing the right fats can support both health goals and culinary needs.

Key Nutrients

  • All fats and oils provide roughly 880 to 900 calories per 100g
  • Olive oil and avocado oil are high in monounsaturated fatty acids
  • Flaxseed oil and fish oils are concentrated sources of omega-3 fatty acids
  • Many plant oils are significant sources of vitamin E

Tips

  • Measure cooking oils with tablespoons rather than pouring freely. A single tablespoon contains about 120 calories.
  • Extra-virgin olive oil retains more polyphenols than refined olive oil and is suitable for most cooking temperatures.
  • Coconut oil is high in saturated fat (about 82%), which is worth considering if saturated fat intake is a concern.
