Not Only Cops, There are Good Fats and Bad Fats

You may have known this. If you haven't it is very good as a basic knowledge. Don't just judge that fats are bad. Or, don't want to eat that for the cholesterol

Fats come in two major types: bad and good. And each type has two subtypes. Bad fats are saturated and trans, which tend to be solid at room temperature (think of butter and lard), and good fats are mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated, which tend to be liquid at room temperature (think of vegetable oils).

One thing that all fats have in common is the number of calories they produce inside your body; namely, nine per gram of fat eaten. To put that into context, a gram of protein equates to four calories and a gram of carbohydrate is also four. That is the sum total of everything you need to know about calories: fats = 9, protein = 4 and carbohydrate = 4 (calories per gram eaten). But please note well that every gram of fat provides more than twice the number of calories as does either protein or carbohydrate. So as an aside, you can readily see that cutting back fat is more beneficial on a gram per gram basis than cutting back other foods.
