20-35% of your daily calories should come from fat.

Saturated fat should be minimal, but healthy fats that are found in nuts and seeds, Avocado and olives, and fish are actually essential to a healthy lifestyle. Healthy fats contain the fatty acids that help your brain maintain its proper chemistry, improving mood, cognitive function, and overall well being while also helping your body's physical functions.
