The highest percentage of calories from fat should come from polyunsaturated fats. Although low-sodium and low-cholesterol foods are appropriate, providing the client with a list alone is not likely to be successful in making dietary changes. Removing saturated fat from the diet completely is not a realistic expectation. Telling the client about the increased risk without assisting further with strategies for dietary change is unlikely to be successful.
