ok wtf is a simple fat...

needtogetaas said:
k to some one that can help :)

and no me is not the answer dip shits.
Seriously, the best place to ask this is the diet forum but I'm going to guess it's an unusual term for monounsaturated fat, since they are "more simple" than polyunsaturated fats, but let's hear from someone who's sharper about nutrition.
 
I doubt distingsions between simple and complex fats are often made because they all take an extrodinary amount of time to digest and process compared to carbs so the same issues don't exist when consuming them....

Sillyness... why are you asking?

this is what I was going to say

Ive never heard specifically of "simple fats", but i know the main difference among fats is the extent of saturation of the chemical bonds in the fatty acids.
 
wika ant telling me shit ether...the dame book asks for the chemical brake down of a simple fat but dos not say wtf a simple fat it.

it makes a big deference to some people bro...life and death deference.maybe not to you and I or healthy people but to others yes.

REally?

Link me to that study.

Never heard of such nonsense. At least in terms of simple = digests faster than a complex fat like carbs.

Now, if you are talking healthy fats - such as unsaturated vs. not so healthy fats such as polysaturated or things like that - hells yah it does. Especially if heart disease runs in your family.

But simple vs. complex .... nah... don't think so. Even the most quickly digested fats take too long for it to be an issue. In fact, I've never heard of fats refered to in those terms... simple vs. complex.

well its in my wifes medical book so it has to mean something..why would they want her to know it if it didnt...

I think they are talking about unsaturated vs. saturated (various levels of such) fats.

If I had to guess. They could also be talking about how we store fats, as opposed to the fats we consume.

What's the context?

a simple fat is bounded and a complex is double bounded(at least this is what I think and am trying to figure out). Fats have "ester" bonds comprised of different numbers of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
the more carbon atoms there are in any fatty acid, the longer its chain will be.Long chains also yield more energy per molecule when metabolized


unsaturated fats will yield slightly less energy during metabolism than saturated fats with the same number of carbon atoms.

the book ask for the building blocks of a simple fat..I am just trying to find out what fat is the simple fat.trans fat mono,poly,what one is a the simple fat...
I would think the one with the least amount of bounds is the simple fat right.butyric acid with 4 carbon atoms is the most simple form of fat I can find if what I am thinking is true it has the least amount of monds carbons atoms..

shit maybe I am over thinking it all.
 
Lipids can be classified in three subgroups based on chemical composition: hydrocarbons, simple lipids, and complex lipids. Hydrocarbons contain carbon and hydrogen only. Simple lipids contain C, H, and O, and complex lipids contain one or more additional elements, such as phosphorus, nitrogen, or sulfur.

Simple Lipids

Simple lipids can be segregated into structural types, which are fatty acids (FA), waxes, triglycerides (TG), and sterols. A fatty acid is a long-chain monocarboxylic acid, and a wax is the ester of a long-chain alcohol and a fatty acid. A triglyceride is the ester of a glycerol that contains three FA molecules. sterols are a special class of alcohols, containing a fused four-ring structure, or steroid nucleus. Sterols may combine with a fatty acid to form sterol esters.
