                                Healthy fats are a cornerstone of many nutritious diets, but at 9 calories per gram, they are also the most calorie-dense of all macronutrients. This raises a critical question: can I eat too much healthy fat and still be healthy? The answer is yes; overconsumption, even of good fats, can lead to weight gain, digestive upset, and other health issues.
