10 Foods High in Fatty Acids That You Should Eat More Of

6. Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a type of food that you can never have too much of. Whether it’s prepared as porridge for breakfast, as cookies, or used as a healthier coating for fried foods, oatmeal is always a healthy, low-calorie, nutritious choice. It being a good source of fatty acids is just icing on the cake (hopefully made with oatmeal). It contains about 3,000 mg of fatty acids in one serving, which comprises about half of the daily allowance.

7. Breakfast Cereals

Certain cereal types from certain cereal brands actually score quite high on the fatty acid scale. Kellogg’s Raisin Bran contains flaxseed, which is naturally high in omega-3; while Kellogg’s Special K is high in both protein and omega-3. Perhaps a little shockingly, General Mills’ sugar bombs Reese’s Puffs and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios are among the top cereals when it comes to fatty acids.
