Nuts
Avocado

Anything that incorporates those items
I'm sure there are way more but those are the top three in my mind.

Greek Yogurt

I have tried to add more to my diet lately, as well.

Almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, olive oil (homemade salad dressing is great), 2% greek yogurt, eggs (in moderation), low fat cheese (still adds up - I like Cabot 50%), almond butter, sun butter, natural peanut butter.

Definitely for me it is Almonds, and Pistachio's..... Have them each and everyday for midday snack and evening snack......

Butter and other animal fats
Coconut Oil
Some Nut oils
Nuts
Avocado and Avocado oil
Olive Oil (should never be eaten heated or baked in the oven) use for salads and after cooking


Stay away from:
Safflower
Peanut oil
Canola oil
Any and all other vegetable oil

Better known as PUFA's are they are rancid and cause inflammation to occur in the body over time.

The best fats are unprocessed ones from foods such as nuts and seeds and avocado.

"Nuts and seeds, not oil, have shown dramatic protection against heart disease. We need to get more of our fats from these wholesome foods and less from processed oils." -nutritarian.com
