Don't Hyper focus on Nutrients.
"Hyperfocusing on a single nutrient, e.g. saturated fats, can lead to a very skewed idea of what constitutes a “healthy” diet. As an example, consider sources of saturated fats. Coconut oil, beef, eggs, salmon and whole-milk yoghurt are all sources of saturated fats, but they all come with different nutrients.
.
Beef contains high levels of protein, iron, and B vitamins. Eggs contain choline, cholesterol, biotin (vitamin B7). Salmon contains omega 3.
.
So if you were are getting 10% saturated fats from salmon, chances are you will affect the body in a much different way than if you get it from coconut oil. Don't get stuck on the numbers, focus on your food patterns instead."
