Each gram of fat has 9 Calories. Compare this with 4 Calories per gram of carbohydrate or protein. So it is clear that fats of all types including saturated, PUFA, MUFA, cholesterol, trans-fat are very high in energy (more than twice as much as in carbs). They are called calorie dense. To lose weight you should choose food low in fat and trans-fat. Better avoid trans-fat, fried and baked food. Eat natural fat: peanuts, almonds, cashew etc.

Why are fats so 'energy dense'?
Fat contain twice as much energy as carbohydrates do, when they are used in respiration. This is because fats are comparatively low in oxygen atoms (the carbon of lipids is more reduced than that of carbohydrates), so more of the oxygen in the respiration of fats comes from the atmosphere. In the oxidation of carbohydrates, more oxygen is present in the carbohydrate molecule itself. Fats and oils therefore a concentrated energy store. source: Allott, Andrew, and David Mindorff.

How much more energy does fat supply than carbohydrates?
Fats actually contain a lot more energy than carbohydrates. The reason carbohydrates are used for energy before fats is because carbohydrates are easier to break down; reactions involving carbohydrates generally have a lower activation energy. This means that less energy is used to release the energy in the bonds of the carbohydrates than fats. In other words, although fats contain more energy, it is more efficient for the body to break down carbohydrates than fats. Once carbohydrate supplies diminish, fat stores can be broken down to use for energy, but doing so is not the body's favorite thing to do.
