Fats have many advantages. They are part of cells, participate in the production of hormones, and help the body absorb vitamins A, E, D and K.
The most important plus is that fats are building materials for nervous tissue. Therefore, you cannot completely abandon them: hormonal balance may be disrupted, skin, nails and hair may suffer. Ideally, fats should make up 30–35% of your daily caloric intake. The ratio of saturated and unsaturated fats is also very important: 2/3 should be “soft” and only 1/3 should be “hard”.

We get the unsaturated, or, as they are also called, “soft” fats that the body needs from vegetable oil, nuts and fish. Unhealthy saturated (“solid”) - from meat, dairy products, as well as coconut, butter and palm oil. The most difficult thing to find and neutralize is the so-called hidden fat. Most of it is in cheese, pastries, sausages (sausages) and chocolate.
A safe norm in all senses is 40–50 g of fat per day. It's worth sticking to. One teaspoon contains 5 g of fat.
For example, 100 g of boiled veal contains only 3 g of fat, milk chocolate (100 g) contains 35 g of fat, and fatty pork contains 50 g.
