When we talk about protein, we often think lean meats, egg whites, or protein shakes. But here’s the thing: many of the most nutritious protein sources naturally come with fat — and that’s not a problem. In fact, it’s part of the design.
Why Fat Matters Alongside Protein
- It keeps you fuller, longer.
- Fats slow digestion, which means your body takes longer to absorb food — helping you stay full and satisfied after a high-protein snac or meal.
- It helps absorb vitamins.
- Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble, meaning your body needs fat to absorb them properly. That chicken thigh or salmon fillet? It’s a nutrient powerhouse because of the fat.
- It supports your brain and hormones.
- Your brain is about 60% fat, and your hormones (like testosterone and estrogen) are made using fat and cholesterol. Cutting fat too low can actually mess with energy, mood, and metabolism.
The Real Issue: Processed Fats vs. Natural Fats
Let’s be clear: we’re not saying all fats are good. Highly processed trans fats (think deep-fried junk or hydrogenated oils) are harmful.
But the fats naturally found in whole foods like the fats eggs, nuts, seeds, dairy, and oily fish? They’re nutrient-rich and anti-inflammatory.
So, Should You Fear the Fat in Protein-Rich Snacs?
Absolutely not. A cookie or bake made with real nuts, eggs, or dairy — and no added junk — can be both protein-rich and keto-friendly.
