How much fat on a low-fat diet?
A low fat diet usually contains around 40g of total fat a day. Nutritionists recommend cutting out unhealthy saturated fats where you can and achieving this fat allowance from healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats found in oils, spreads, nuts, avocados and hummus. As a guide, 20 grams of fat is found in one third of a large avocado, one tablespoon of oil, 5 teaspoons of spread or 40 grams of nuts.
