In this case, the foods with the highest fat content are usually the foods with the highest caloric content since 1g of fat gives us 9 Kcal, compared to proteins or carbohydrates that would give us 4kcal, which does not mean that we have to Eliminate foods with high fat content if not that it is necessary to limit them, especially those whose fat is saturated such as fatty meats, processed products such as industrial pastries.

Rocío Bueno Martínez, coordinator of the nutrition area, says that "We must limit the consumption of doubtful and saturated fats to bet on other healthy fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) such as extra virgin olive oil, avocado or coconut".

In this sense, Rocío comments that "it is necessary to limit the consumption of refined oils, of hydrogenated fats, of visible fat in meat foods, of sausages, of industrial pastries and to have special caution with the added sugar of some products that are in the supermarket".
