Myth Buster – “Eating FATS makes you FAT”

Scientifically speaking, Fat has more calories than Carbs or Proteins. There are 4 calories per gram in both Carbs and Protein while same amount of Fat has 9 calories. However, it is not at all true that eating Fats will make you Fat.

The difference lies in the type of fat you are consuming.

The answer has nothing to do with calories though and has everything to do with your physiology.If you are slim, then eating fat will not make you fat. If you are already overweight then yes, eating too much fat will make you fat.

That does not mean you can’t eat healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, fatty fish, avocado etc. Just consume them in moderate amounts combined with a healthy diet.
