>>54631 there are three types of healthy fat, and two that you should never eat.
the bad ones are trans- and hydrogenated fats. if you buy mcdonalds then you are pretty much eating hydrogenated fats; vegetable oils are hydrogenated so the remain solid at room temperatures. makes them cheaper to transport and store.
the three types of healthy fats are polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fats. you will get saturated fats from eggs, dairy, meat; easy to get. they have gotten a bad rap but they are necessary. if you eat nothing but them then yes, you will die. same as with carbs or pure protein also.
polyunsaturated fats are your omega3 and omega6s. the american diet since agriculture was industrialised has too many omega6s and not enough omega3s. used to be that meat, eggs would have them but no longer because everything is raised on dietary monocultures (corn). the ratio of omega3 to 6 is what is important. can be found in oily fish, or grass fed beef/free grazing eggs. easy out is just supplement with fish oil. about double the recommended dose is a place to start; they are a food not a vitamin.
monounsaturated are found in olive oil, avocadoes and nuts. also in canola. basically most oils.
the more you read by yourself the more you can get specific and exact with your diet.
