Avocado is the quintessential “good fat.”It’s loaded with monounsaturated fats, the same healthy fats found in olive oil. These fats may help improve heart health and reduce inflammation.
Olive oil
Olives are full of monounsaturated fats called oleic acid, so olive oil is a concentrated source of this healthy compound.
Salmon
Salmon is one of the healthiest fish you can eat, thanks to its hefty dose of protein and omega-3 fats.
Flax seeds
One tablespoon of flax seed contains 2 grams of alpha-linolenic acid (plant-based omega-3), and 4 grams of total fat. It’s also rich in fiber and protein.
Dark chocolate
The stuff that’s loaded with sugar probably won’t benefit you, but chocolates that are 70% or more cocoa contain loads of healthy monounsaturated fats without a lot of extra sugar.
Yogurt
Research shows that high-fat dairy (like full-fat yogurts and cheeses) may be better for metabolic health than low-fat dairy.
Eggs
Rounding out our list is eggs, one of the most controversial foods of all time. But don’t listen to the naysayers: eggs are, and have always been, great for you.
