    Nope. Neither do 'unhealthy' fats. A calorie surplus makes you fat.

    Fat only makes you fat if it causes you to exceed the calories your body needs (same for carbohydrates or protein).

    Avocados have a different blend of nutrients than crisps do, but they both contain fat. Both foods will cause weight gain if they lead to you consuming more than your body can use and both can be consumed during weight loss as long as you maintain a deficit.

    Fats don't make you fat. Eating more calories than you burn makes you gain weight

    No

    Calories - specifically eating more than you burn - make you fat.

    Hi @rosiepri900. It looks like your message was garbled in transit. Did you have a particular question about fats or a point you wanted to discuss?

    the original question was basically 'does eating healthy fat make you fat'

    Thanks. I don't know why they chose to edit that question out, but I'm glad they got their answer.

    You need fats.
    Healthy or otherwise

    Fat in fish, avocado and coconut are the good fats IMO. They allow for the qbsorbtion of vitamin and minerals and they promote hormone secretion like testosterone.

    The bad fat IMO are trans fats.
    They're in food just to let the food last longer.
    They raise the LDL, which people call the bad cholesterol.
