Rapeseed, walnut, olive: should changing oil mean using more?

Varying oils changes the fatty acids supplied. A spoon also helps you keep track of the amount.

General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Rapeseed, walnut and olive oils are preferred choices among added fats, used in small amounts.

Rapeseed and walnut oils notably provide omega-3 fatty acids. Varying oils varies the fatty acids supplied.

Changing oil does not mean increasing the amount: even olive oil consists entirely of fat.

Ameli suggests rapeseed and walnut oils for salads and olive oil for cooking, without increasing usual amounts.

To see how much you add, measure with a spoon rather than pouring directly from the bottle.

You can also alternate with steaming or cooking in a parcel. Choose one manageable change for your next meal.
