I’ve been trying to eat more whole foods for my heart, but I keep getting confused about which fats are actually helpful. My doctor mentioned the importance of monounsaturated fats, but then I read something about polyunsaturated ones being good too, and now I’m just unsure what to focus on when I’m shopping or cooking.

I swapped butter for olive oil and added a handful of almonds as a snack; I felt lighter after meals and more steady energy.

I focus on monounsaturated fats and other healthy fats, and I try to keep the intake aligned with my overall calories.

The labels are confusing; I started cooking with canned sardines or salmon a couple times a week and noticed my mood after meals improved.

I tried a plan that prioritized fats from nuts and olive oil, but I ended up craving snacks later and skipped the plan.

Maybe the real problem is not the fats but the overall pattern; I still eat out a lot and grab quick fried stuff.

I tracked groceries for a month and found we spent more on seeds, nuts, and fatty fish; not sure if the savings made a difference.

Is it possible the real issue is stress or sleep driving cravings more than fat type?
