List of saturated fats in common foods
What foods are high in saturated fat?
Foods higher in saturated fats include butter, cheese, whole milk, meats higher in fat (like beef ribs, sausage, and some processed meats), poultry skin, and tropical oils like coconut and palm oil. Instead, go for foods with unsaturated fats — like seafood, avocados, most nuts, and canola or olive oil.
What are the different types of unsaturated fats?
There are 2 types of unsaturated fats: monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). While saturated fats have health risks, unsaturated fats have health benefits. TheDietary Guidelines recommends that adultwomen get 1.5–2 tablespoons and adult menget 2–2.5 tablespoons of oils each day.
Are all foods a mixture of fats?
All foods and oils contain a mixture of fats (fatty acids, to be more precise). Foods are categorized here by the predominant type of fat or are included in a category if the fat is present in significant quantities. Fats with negative health effects are saturated fats and trans fats.
Is saturated fat a nutrient?
Saturated fat is found in higher proportions in animal products and is usually solid at room temperature. An exception is seafood, which is generally low in saturated fat. The human body makes all the saturated fat that it needs, so it is not necessary to get saturated fat from food. Saturated fat is a nutrient to get less of.
