The unsaturated fats should be avoided not the saturated fats.
There are many foods that contain CSI-fats. For monounsaturated cis-fats, the foods include: avocados, canola oil, eggs, cashews, ground beef, bacon and olives. For polyunsaturated cis-fats, they would include: flaxseed, pine nuts, salmon, smelt, walnuts and soybeans.
Animal fats are formed by triglycerides. Lipids include many things including fats, waxes, vitamins that are fat-soluble, and are responsible for storing energy.
There are several types of fat. I assume we are talking about dietary fat here. Harmful fats include saturated and trans fat. Healthier fats include monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and omega-3 fatty acids. There are other types that are indicated by a double bond placement between carbon atoms which include omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. Fats are different from subsections of lipids.
You become fat. Your cholesterol goes up. You feel bad. It contributes to a variety of health problems.
Simply put: Without fats, you will die. With too many fats, you will die.
Healthy and Unhealthy Fats Three foods that contain fats are: fish, cooking oils, and dairy products, but wait, here's more:There are four kinds of fats: trans fats, saturated fats, monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. The first two are considered unhealthy and the last two are said to be healthy. Three sources of each type are listed.Animal-based Fats:Trans fats are found in foods that contain partially hydrogenated oil or shortening and include: energy bars, many cereals, and many deserts including pies, cakes, and cookies. Trans fats can increase harmful cholesterol and decrease beneficial cholesterol.Saturated fats are found in animal-based foods and include: red meats, dairy products like ice cream and cheese, and processed meats like bologna and other dairy meats. Saturated fats can raise the harmful (LDL) cholesterol level in the body.Plant-based Fats:Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated Fats are heart-healthy and are found in plants. They include plant-based oils such as Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, cold-water fish like salmon and tuna, and nuts like walnuts and almonds. A fourth source of healthy fats is seeds, like flax seeds and sunflower seeds. These fats lower harmful LDL levels and improve beneficial HDL cholesterol levels.

Yes, but not very many.
Fats are not in calories but in food. Food nutrients (and fats are one of them) usually have calories.
About 30,000 people die each year because obesity
I would consider 'nuts' to be a healthy fat. Can't eat tooo many as they are high fat but definitely something to include in a healthy diet.
