∙ 12y agoFats are essentially the same as oils and also called 'Lipids'. There are animal fats (examples: butter, lard, cream, fat in and on meats, etc.) and vegetable fats (examples: olive oil, peanut oil, flax seed oil, corn oil, etc.).
Fat aids in the process of utilizing vitamins A, D, E, and K, and carotenoids and our bodies use fats as a major source of energy.
There are also different categories of fats. For example, there are: Monounsaturated fat, Polyunsaturated fat, Saturated fat, and Trans Fat. It is currently believed that fat intake should be reduced in the average American diet, especially an avoidance of Trans Fat and saturated fat. But, our bodies do require an adequate amount of beneficial Polyunsaturated and Monunsaturated fats. Trans fats increase the LDL cholesterol, the 'bad' cholesterol.
One Tablespoon of butter equals 100 calories. One Tablespoon of butter equals 11 grams of total fat, of which 7 grams are saturated, 7 grams are a combined saturated and trans fat mixture, and no trans fats. A Tablespoon of butter also contains 30 mg. of cholesterol which has been linked to increased risks of heart disease.
Trans Fats are partially 'hydrogenated' fats, produced when hydrogen is added to liquid oils to create a solid oil such as shortening and some margarine. Trans Fats are found used mostly in processed foods such as vegetable shortenings, some margarine, crackers, cookies, snack foods, and other foods made with or fried in partially hydrogenated oils.

Why plants use oils but not fats as fats provide more energy than oils?
Fats and oils are the same thing. Oils are often plant based fats, while animal based fats aren't typically referred to as oils. Oils and fats both provide 9 kilocalories of energy per gram. Animal based fats are typically comprised of saturated and monounsaturated fats, while plant based fats are mostly polyunsaturated fats with some saturated fats and some monounsaturated fats. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, while oils (unsaturated fats) are liquid at room temperature. Some plant based oils high in saturated fats are: cocoa butter, coconut oil, palm oil, and avocado oil,... among others. Some like cocoa butter (used to make chocolate) have more saturated fats (57-64%) than pork fat (lard) [35%]. Though beef fat (and butter), at 80-95%, most definitely have the highest percentage.
