      1. avoid: saturated fatty acids

        Anotações:

        • Fatty acids are classified as saturated when each carbon atom is attached to as many hydrogen atoms as possible, so that no double bonds form (no carbon carbon double bonds)
        • Saturated Fatty Acids  are solid at room temperature.
        1. best: unsaturated fatty acids

          Anotações:

          • have carbon carbon double bonds
          • Fatty acids that are required by the human body but cannot be made in sufficient quantity from other substrates, and therefore must be obtained from food, are called essential fatty acids.
          1. monounsaturated fatty acid (most healthy)

            Anotações:

            • a monounsaturated fatty acid has one carbon carbon double bond
            1. oleic acid (omega- 9 fatty acid)

              Anotações:

              • food high in omega 9: Avocado, Peanut butter, Olives Sesame seeds Nuts: almonds, cashews, filberts, hazelnuts, macadamia, peanuts, pecans, pistachios

              Anotações:

              • a polyunsaturated fatty acid is one that has two or more points of unsaturation (two or more carbon carbon double bonds)
              1. linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid)

                Anotações:

                • food high in omega 6: Walnuts, Pumpkin & sunflower seeds,

            1. Lipid is the chemical term for fat In the body, fats pad body’s organs, insulate & form cell membranes
              1. Fats & oils = 9 kcal/gram (most energy dense macronutrient)

                Anotações:

                •  a system of nutrition recommendations from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences
                1. DRI: 20-35% kcal from fat
                  1. < 10% kcal from saturated fat (<20 g)

                    Anotações:

                    • 0-1% kcal from trans fats
