No. An amino acid is the monomer or building block of a protein. Fat is the "street term" for lipid, so essentially fat and lipid are synonyms. Amino acid and protein are not the same substance because many amino acids plus extensive folding, coiling, pleating, or looping create polypeptides, which then join together as a functional protein.
