Table 2 Fat content of different food types

From: Saturated fat in an evolutionary context

  1. SFA=saturated fatty acid. MUFA=monounsaturated fatty acid. PUFA=polyunsaturated fatty acid. Low: < 3 g per 100 g. Medium: 3–10 g per 100 g. High: > 10 g per 100 g. Yellow to orange represents the typical content for the food group, with stronger color for higher contents. Pink represents the typical ratio for the food group, with stronger color for higher ratios. When multiple colors are seen, the content or ratio is more variable and spans several areas. Purple represents some notable exceptions within each food group. Based on nutrient values from official food databases [28, 84]. Supplementary data: nuts [85], eggs [86, 87], seafood [88,89,90], meats [29, 33], insects [91,92,93,94], seeds [95, 96], mushrooms [97, 98], fruits [99], vegetables [100]
