Sources of fatty acidas in your diet

Sources of fatty acids in your diet

Your diet is reflected in the fatty acid profile of your blood. Your personal fatty acid profile is presented in your home test results, and forms the basis for our suggestions on how you may change your diet. The fatty acid profile provides an overview of the 11 most important fatty acids in your blood (98% of total fatty acids). To be able to change your diet efficiently, you need to know the fatty acid content of some common foods.

Almost all foods contain many different fatty acids, including saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. However, the amount of those fatty acids varies from one food to another, making it possible to change the intake of fatty acids by changing the types of foods consumed.

The following is only a guideline providing examples of food sources for the 11 different fatty acids measured in our home test:

Palmitic acid, C16:0, saturated
