Hidden fat

[blond bomber]

I noticed today how labels seem to be missing some of their fat content. How is it that a serving of peanuts has 4.5 grams polyunsaturated fat, 6.5 grams monounsaturated fat (or flipped - I'm doing this from memory), and 2.5 grams saturated fat, all for a total of 13.5 grams. Yet, the label claims 14 grams of total fat.

There are other examples I've seen with more of a difference, just to lazy to find them.

Please reply.

Good question bro.I don't think most people know the answer.So here it is the missing fat in your peanuts is called trans fats which are chemically altered vegetable oils used to increase it's shelf life and to make some products more palatable as well.If you want to cut back on your trans fat intake look at the ingredients for 'partially hydrogenated vegetable oils' as well as adding up the fat on the label.Remember trans fats are the worse fat there is.Hope this helps

I know that all natural peanut butter doesn't have trans fats in it but have you ever tasted it?Also walnut or almond butter are good alternatives to peanut butter.

 

[oceangurl01]

walnut butter more fat!

There's more hidden fat in walnut butter?

 

[oceangurl01]

i think so.. almonds and peanuts are the best!
so have you ever heard of keto cereal with lots of protein and barely any carbs

 

[MeanCuts]

I don't know why walnut butter would need additional trans fats have to look into that.As far as the Keto goes check this site out

It also has the nutrional facts of their products i've never seen it in stores so it might be really good for your diet and really bad for your taste buds
