Lipid are classified into two main forms saturated and unsaturated what are they saturated with?

Lipids that are saturated do not have double bonded hydrogen atoms to the carbon skeleton of the molecule. Instead, the molecule has all of its available spaces filled with hydrogen atoms that are bonded to each open carbon atom of the molecule. To make it simple, saturated lipids are saturated with hydrogen.
