The Fat List

Please add food sources of fats we need to eat. List the food, type of fat in it, and possibly the amount of fat in a certain amount of the food. Keep in mind that saturated, mono, and poly fats all have a role for us... Ill start with a couple common fat sources :

Beef : saturated fat, good for protein/fat meal

Olive oil : monos, polys and saturates....

Flax oil : EFA's like crazy

Peanut Butter : monos, saturates

Butter : mmm butter, saturated

Unfortunetly the human body does require a small amount of saturated fats to function.They exist in the oils you mentioned above as well.

I prefer Udo's oil to flax oil myself.More nutrients the better.Flax is somewhat limited.

Nice idea for a thread tho.

nuts,almonds - fat/pro meal

Make sure the Flax is made with Lignans, which have nice anti-cancer properties.

Ranch dressing, mayo, cheese

Walnuts, Beef, Fish Oil, Whole Eggs, actual Olives

ive been eating olives... great for fat intake.
