Yes, and those are usually beneficial fats, and are naturally in the ballpark of healthy levels. A person on a 100% whole-food plant-based diet, if they are not adding any extra refined fats, can expect their calories from fats to be anywhere as low as 10% (which is likely dangerously low), to as high as maybe 30% if they are eating a lot of the high-fat plants like nuts, seeds, and avocado. But healthy oils like canola and olive oil can be an easy way to get that number in the 25-30% range, while getting the benefits of improved antioxidant absorption.
Plants do contain fats so it’s not mutually exclusive. Nuts, beans, all sorts of seeds, all contain high amounts of fat, which is oil.
