Are You Eating the Right Fat?

By: Brooke C. Wheeler

Lean red meat
Chicken
Fish

Beware: hidden saturated fats also lurk in lots of snack foods such as cookies, chips, and candy. For example, anything with coconut or coconut oil -- even if it's a vegan snack -- will be high in saturated fat.

And note that this isn't, of course, an open invitation to start gorging on peanut butter. It's still wise to keep your total fat intake to around 30 percent a day -- just make them "better" fats.
