Fats, oils and sweets
Choose foods with healthy fats such as nuts, seeds or avocados. Use oil and vinegar as your salad dressing. It's OK to indulge once in a while — as long as you're getting the nutrients you need and your weight gain is on target. To avoid going overboard, control your portion sizes of foods high in fat and sugar.
