Will too much saturated fat add more fat to you?

[Cokeboyz]

Ive been looking all over for the answer to this but can't find it. I know too much isn't good for your heart, but will it also make you fatter or have a negative affect on your gains/ body comp in any way?

You've asked this exact same question before. The answers will be the same. Check the other thread you started with almost the same title as this one.

I get in around 20g of sat fat per day just FYI.

This one is talking about just saturated fat though

Care to explain how saturated fats get turned into fat faster than any other fat? Please, do try.Also, 50g of fats=450kcals. Hardly likely going to make you fat unless that puts you in extreme caloire excess..

Oh, heres a thread for you to read. Same question he posted will too many saturated fats make you fat?

sure ill read up.. and im not comparing the two im referring to having a surplus of fat totals. 150g per day and more..

[wrathchild281]

and yes in my opinion i would never recommend high saturated fats in totals of 50g daily is far to much imo

Neither would I. 20g is what I aim for. It aids in testoterone production; I'm not advocating for you primary source of fats to come from saturated sources, rather I argue for them to not be discredited. 20-25g imo is enough.

Eating fats will only become a problem in the presence of excess carbohydrates mainly grains, sugars etc. Please do a through research before you start to sound like Ancel Keyes.

The reason nobody in the higher up in the FDA will ever change their tune about grains is that the economy will most likley collapse if they ever will accept the fact that they were wrong about grains and sugar. So it is smart to ignore their bias approach and think for yourself in terms of long term health.
We as humans should not be eating a so called perfect diet and have to take lipitor, high blood pressure or diabetic drugs. Just think about this...most eveyone eating grains has problems! Coincidence..heck no! It's reality. We shuld not eat an FDA suggested diet and need drugs!!!!

Okay my question still hasn't been answered. I wanna know if taking in like 75% of my fats as saturated will be worse for my gains than 75% unsaturated. Yes or no????

[ThunderHumper]

maybe indirectly in the sense that saturated fat ****s up your cholesterol levels and layers up in your arteries and veins

What's the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
you seem extremely confused of what fat is and you need to google it and post the answer then I will respond.

are you serious?lol
Explain how would that happen please!

[Cokeboyz]

I guess I will never get a yes or no answer to this question lol. I'm gonna go with mostly unsaturated though. Better safe than sorry
