When it comes to nutrition and fitness, protein and carbs often get the spotlight. But healthy fats are just as important—especially if you're training hard and want to feel your best. From hormone health to recovery, fats play a major role in keeping your body balanced, energized, and resilient.
At Fit Haus, we believe in a well-rounded approach to fueling your body—and that means not fearing fat. Here’s why it matters and how to include it the smart way.
When you cut out fats completely, you risk imbalances that can affect your performance, recovery, mood, and even your metabolism.
Pro Tip: You don’t need a ton. A serving of healthy fat at each main meal is enough to support most active lifestyles.
Let’s bust the myth: Eating fat doesn’t automatically make you gain fat. It’s about total intake and food quality. Healthy fats help keep you satisfied longer and can prevent overeating later.
Pairing fats with protein and complex carbs helps stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings, and improve meal satisfaction.
Fats digest more slowly, so they’re best consumed:
Avoid large amounts of fat immediately before high-intensity workouts—save that avocado toast for after!
Adding in high-quality fats might be exactly what your body needs to recover, feel strong, and function at its best.
