Fats

 

 Composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, fat is one of the three basic nutrients. Fats are typically broken down into good and bad fats. Good fats include essential fatty acids and dietary fats. These are the monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, for example: olive oil, canola oil. Typical bad saturated fats are found in beef, pork, poultry fat, butter, cream, milk, cheeses and other dairy products made from whole milk.

It is chemically classified as carbohydrates (and may be included in the total carbohydrate content listed on food labels), found primarily in unprocessed vegetables, nuts, grains and fruits.
