There are 3 types of fat people normally eat, Saturated, Unsaturated, and Trans.
Note: there is also 2 types of unsaturated fat, Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated fat.
Among all the types of fat, each one has a different, yet similar molecular structure. The small difference among each reflects the physical characteristics of the fat, and how it affects our body.
What you should know:
- It's molecular structure is most stable, no carbons have double bonds, and has the most hydrogen
- It is a solid at room temperature
- This type of fat is found in meat and dairy foods. It is also in coconut oil.
- Foods that contain fat are not strictly saturated or unsaturated fat, they are a combination of the two. For instance Peanut butter is mostly unsaturated fat, but does also contain saturated fat.
- It is recommended by nutritionists to eat no more than 30 grams of saturated fat per day.
- Consistently under-eating saturated fat can cause brain atrophy and hormonal deficiencies/issues.
- Consistently over-eating saturated fat can cause weight gain and clogged arteries, both of which are a double whammy against the heart really increasing chances of a heart attack.
- Fat (this includes trans, unsaturated, and saturated) is one of the 4 calorie yielding nutrients. It has 9 calories per gram. Carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram and alcohol has 7 per gram.

Person 1: Hey man you wanna get a double cheeseburger?
Person 2: No man I can't eat beef or cheese, I'm trying to watch my saturated fat intake, my doctor told me to.

A teacher who speaks loudly and when she yell at people, the whole floor can hear what she’s saying. Don’t stay too close to her as she has smelly breath...

1. Being so fat that your own body fat has the ability of overlapping your eyes causing temporary blindness. Aslo, 2. Being blind to actions that are stereotypically the actions of an obese person.
Ordering a triple burger combo with cheese, super sized, but you want to make sure that the coke is half diet because you're watching your figure. Your Fat Blindness has caused you to overlook the fact that you're stuffing your face like a fat fool.
