different types of fats found in foods
There are three kinds of fats: saturated fats (found in meat, butter, lard, tropical oils, and cream), unsaturated fats (found in olive oil, avocados, nuts, salmon, and canola oil), and trans fats (found in baked goods, snack foods, fried foods, and margarines).ll dietary fats contain different percentages of saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fat. Saturated fats are found primarily in animal products. Unsaturated fats mainly come from plants and can be monounsaturated (olive or canola oil) or polyunsaturated (safflower, sunflower, corn, or other oils).
