Detailed explanation-1: -You should limit saturated fat to less than 10% of your daily calories. For a 2, 000-calorie diet, that is 200 calories or 22 grams (g) of saturated fats a day. As an example, just 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of butter contains 7 g of saturated fat (almost a third of your daily allowance).
Detailed explanation-2: -The American Heart Association recommends limiting saturated fats – which are found in butter, cheese, red meat and other animal-based foods, and tropical oils. Decades of sound science has proven it can raise your “bad” cholesterol and put you at higher risk for heart disease.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eating good fats in place of saturated fat can also help prevent insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes. (16) So while saturated fat may not be as harmful as once thought, evidence clearly shows that unsaturated fat remains the healthiest type of fat.
