FAT:
An important question that athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike must be able to answer is what kinds and how much fat should be in their daily diet.

All fats are found as various combinations of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated Fats usually come from animal sources like meat, milk and butter. However, coconut and palm oils are also highly saturated. With exception of the two vegetable oils mentioned, saturated fats usually remain solid at room temperature.

Unsaturated fats are often classified as either monounsaturated fats (olive, peanut and avocado oils) or polyunsaturated fats (corn, sesame and safflower oils). Unsaturated fats that tend to remain liquid at room temperature usually originate from plant sources.

To complicate things more, there is a process called hydrogenation, that makes unsaturated fats more saturated. This process is done to preserve the shelf life of unsaturated fats. No better for you than saturated fats, hydrogenated unsaturated fats become hard at room temperature. Such is the case with margarine and shortening, both are solid at room temperature.
