Answers:
The calories are the same, but the way your body processes/reacts to them is different!. It really is based on chemistry!. Total fat just means all the fat that's in the meal/food item!.

Saturated fat is from an animal and trans fat exists very little in meat naturally, but we have loads of it in junk food and margarine (aka forced a liquid fat into becoming a solid fat)!. You should avoid sat fat and trans fat because they tend to cause cardiovascular harm when you eat it in abundance!.

Monosaturated and polysaturated fats are good fats, such as olive oil!. The unsaturated fats (the two I just listed) do not increase LDL or contribute to cholesterol!.!.!. in fact some lower your LDL and increase your HDL!.

HDL are good lipids (fats) and LDL are bad lipids

Don't avoid fats because each cell membrane is composed of fats, your brain and nervous system are also made of fats!. Try to consume more of the heart healthy fats and reduce your sat fat consumption!. Some studies suggest trans fat is more hazardous to your health than sat fat, so try to avoid trans fat at all costs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Saturated Fat is fat that is solid in room temperature!.!.!.such as fat on a piece of steak, butter, cheese, chocolate, lard!.

Trans Fat is bad for your health and weight!.!.!.!.!.its used in deep frying foods, take-away processed foods, cakes, biscuits, pastries, pies!.
Trans fat increases the level of bad LDL cholesterol in much the same way as saturated fat!. And worse, it seems to also lower the concentration of good HDL cholesterol that
