​Fats are also called ‘fatty acids’ or ‘lipids.’ When it comes to energy, fats are the slowest digesting of the three macronutrients, but they are also the most efficient. There are three main types of fat in the foods you eat:

1. Unsaturated fats from plant foods.  E.g. avocado, cashews, almonds, olive oil, etc.

2. Saturated fats from animal foods. E.g. skin on chicken and turkey, sausages, bacon, butter, cheese, etc.

3. Trans fats from commercially prepared, processed foods. E.g. donuts, French fries, potato chips, etc.

​The “bad fats,” saturated and trans fats, tend to be more solid at room temperature (like butter)
