The energy density of fat are 37.7MJ/kg, or 9 kcal/g. The energy density of Fats are the highest among the macronutrients

According to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), the recommended daily intake of fats for adults is around 20-35% of our total calories. This corresponds to about 44-77 grams of fat if you consume 2000 calories a day

Monounsaturated fat: 15% to 20%

Polyunsaturated fat: 5% to 10%

Saturated fat: less than 10%

Trans fat: 0%

Cholesterol: less than 300 mg per day

Saturated (animal)- no double bond; they are fully saturated with hydrogen.
cis-monounsaturated (plant)- main monounsaturated fatty acid is oleic acid with one double bond
cis-polyunsaturated (plant)- contain two or more double bonds. Smaller amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids with double bonds in the n-3 position also occur in
the diet.
T rans fatty acids-  produced by partial hydrogenation of polyunsaturated oils in food processing + also occur naturally in ruminant animal foods

Fats are nutrients in the body that are used to build nerve tissue and hormones. The body also utilities fat as a source of fuel. If fats are not burned as energy or used as building blocks, then they are stored by the body in fat cells

Fats also function to cushion internal and reproductive organs and can carry fat soluble vitamins and phytochemicals

Another function of fat is to allow children to grow

- Most concentrated form of energy for body (37 kJ/g)
- 2x as many kJ as carbohydrates and fat
- Emulsified by bile in the small intestine --> broken down into fatty acids
- "Oils" is the term used to refer to fats that can be liquid at normal room temperature. "Fats" is the term usually used for fats that are solids at room temperature. While "Lipids" is the correct term for both liquid and solid fats.
- Fat intake should account for 30 percent of our diet.
