  • Every triglyceride contains one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acids (basically, chains of carbon atoms). 
  • Fatty acids may be 4 to 24 (even numbers of) carbons long, the 18-carbon ones being the most common in foods and especially noteworthy in nutrition. 
  • Fatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated. Unsaturated fatty acids may have one or more points of unsaturation – that is, they may be mono-unsaturated or polyunsaturated. 
  • Of special importance in nutrition are the polyunsaturated fatty acids known as omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. 
  • The 18-carbon fatty acids are linolenic acid (omega-3) and linoleic acid (omega-6). Both are essential fatty acids that the body cannot make. Each is the primary member of a family of longer-chain fatty acids that help to regulate blood pressure, blood clotting, and other body functions important to health. 

    • Number of Double bonds

    - Women require more fat than men ~ particularly in anticipation for pregnancy.
    - Fats are the most energy dense of all macronutrients.

    Visible fats 
    • We add these to our foods, add them to cooking or find them on our foods before they are cooked
    • Easy to limit or avoid
    Invisible fats 
    • Contained within a pre-packaged or pre-prepared food, we eat it without much thought
    • Difficult to reduce intake without avoiding the food or eating in very small portions
