nutrition table
Is saturated fat considered a macronutrient or a micronutrient
?
or is it neither? I need to do this for a nutrition project. It asks me to compare two (food) products: an unhealthy one and a healthy one
One of the steps is to create a table with macronutrients and percentages and stuff…I know that macronutrients are ftas, proteins and carbs and that you need them in large quantities…but im not sure about the trans fats and saturated fats. So im just trying to make sure.
I would think that trans fat & saturated fats are macronutrients because they belong to fats. If you have trouble with that..you can split up essential (good) fats from bad fats. Omega 3’s vs. Trans fat for example.
I am certain that sat. fat is NOT a micronutrients. Micronutrients = vitamins.
