The myth: don’t worry, it’s a healthy fat

The truth: healthy fats, like those in olive oil and nuts, are smart to eat. But a handful of almonds has about 670 kilojoules. A tablespoon of olive oil, over 600. It’s easy to blow past your daily kilojoule allowance before the main course arrives. “Kilojoules do matter,” says dietitian Dr Chris Mohr. If you feel like a nut, eat pistachios – removing the shells slows you down.
