    whole grains are an easy source of complex carbs

    This is just my opinion but I wouldn’t consider wholegrain a source of complex carbs. It still spikes your blood sugar levels a lot. Actuall complex carbs lie in vegetables mainly especially leaf vegetables.

    Saturated fats are still problematic and try and look for some articles published outside of the U.S.

    I’m not going to lie it was difficult to find a non u.s. but here is a comprehensive European review compiling many studies finding that there is no reasonably correlation between saturated fats and cardiovascular disease or heart attack.

    Then while fats may by a good source of energy (because they offer 9 calories per gram) they are also an easy way to over consume calories because they are so dense.

    This is true when you eat straight butter but when you have it with meat or dairy or other natural sources of fat it’s generally lower volume

    Also olive oil is not a vegetable oil you can search it up. I agree olive oil is healthy, that’s because it’s not a vegetable oil.

    Ideally avoid sugar as much as possible. This also includes simple carbohydrates like you would find in bread and other grain. Sugar acts like any drug, once your dependant on it you only feel normal when you have sugar in your system.

    Fats are a really good sauce of long lasting energy which lasts throughout the day, pretty much all natural fats are healthy including saturated fats like butter, contrary to popular belief. Processed fats like what’s found in vegetable oils on the other hand are bad.
