If you eat a diet high in fat – you will store more body fat, true or false?

THIS IS TRUE

  • Fat is very energy dense
  • Fat is more easily stored as body fat than other nutrients as it is already in the right form for storage
  • Men are usually ‘apple shape’. Women are usually ‘pear shape’ which is healthier!
  • Waist measure to reduce risk
    • Males < 100cm
    • Females < 85cm
