This overview of the fat food group and fat servings is part of the RealJock.com Healthy Weight-Loss Program.

Eating a fat-free diet is not healthy. Your body needs fat to function. Besides being a valuable energy source, fat aids in blood clotting and helps regulate your blood pressure, heart rate, and nervous system. It is also necessary for the transportation and absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins—A, D, E, and K. That said, fats are very high in calories, so it is important to limit your fat intake to proper amounts.
