Saturated vs. Unsaturated Fats | How Much Fat Per Day?
Have you ever heard that FATS are bad for you?
Contrary to what you might think, not all fats were created equally. Fats provide energy, at nine calories per gram! Stripping all fat from your diet has negative health consequences. Your body needs a certain amount of fat per day to sustain all of its necessary bodily functions.
Let’s start by describing the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats to see what fats we should be consuming.
From a chemical standpoint, saturated fats are simply fat molecules that have no double bonds between carbon molecules since they are saturated with hydrogen molecules. Saturated fats are also solid at room temperature. Examples of saturated fats include beef, poultry with skin, heavy cream, cheese, etc.
From a scientific perspective, unsaturated fats are comprised of one or more double bonds in the fatty acid chain. Unsaturated fats are usually referred to as “oils.” Oils provide essential fatty acids and vitamin E. Unsaturated fat or good fats, can be classified as either monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats. Common sources of monounsaturated fats include olive oil, almonds, pistachios, and avocado whereas, polyunsaturated fats include salmon for example.
Ensure fats account for 20-35 percent of your daily caloric intake!
