It has a s**t ton of benefits! 👍🏼

Such as:

Omega 3’s - decrease inflammation, may enhance fat loss, inhibit fat storage, and may impact positively on appetite. You can find these in Fish Oil Tablets/ Liquid Cod Liver Oil & Fatty Sish like Salmon 🐠

Taste - Normally for dietary adherence fat is essential. Without fats to make stuff taste good you’ve got bland, s**te food. Some studies actually show that you are more satisfied and satiated when your meal tastes good, so make it taste good with some fats 😛

Satiety - Fat keeps you fuller for longer between meals, thus reducing hunger signalling & increasing likelihood of dietary adherance 🤰

Energy - Similalry, it aids in better blood sugar control which means you have more consistent energy throughout the day & makes you more insulin sensitive = better ability to partition nutrients into muscle than fat cells 💪🏽

How much fat should you eat per day?

0.22-0.33 g/lb (0.48-0.72 g/kg) is a good starting point, you can go higher if you prefer 🧮
