A vegetable diet provides healthy fats and not all fats are bad, thus your daily consumption of fat should be 20-25 per cent.
Types Of Fats
Also, the way you cook your food is important as deep frying, reusing oil, or hydrogenation for commercial purposes converts healthy fat into unhealthy fat.
There are three types of fats - saturated fats, monounsaturated fats (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fats (PUFA). Animal sources of fat is saturated. And vegetable sources of fat are main sources of mono and poly unsaturated fat.
Composition Of Fats
Saturated fats have carbon atoms bound to two hydrogen atoms. Polyunsaturated fats have free carbon atoms with no hydrogen atoms in between. But with hydrogenation, the free carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms. Hydrogenation is done commercially to improve shelf life of the food and is used mainly in bakery products, cookies, mithais and ready to eat snacks like samosas and namkeens.
