Sources of fats
The richest sources of fat in the diet are the vegetable oils, such as olive oil, corn oil, peanut oil, and vegetable shortenings, and the animal fats, such as lard and butter. Nuts have high fat content too. Poultry, Meat, and fish vary in their fat content; bacon contains about twice as much as beef and salmon (an example of fatty fish). All cheeses except for cottage cheese contain high amounts of the nutrient. The fat in an egg is found only in the yolk. Most fruits and vegetables contain little fat; however, avocados and coconuts, which contain about 20 per cent fat, are exceptions.
