Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fats and oils are esters of glycerol and three fatty acids. They are important in the diet as energy sources and as sources of essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, which tend to associate with fats. They also contribute satiety, flavor, and palatability to the diet.
Detailed explanation-2: -In studies of individual foods it has been reported (36, 37, 38) that high-fat foods tend to be low in moisture, resulting in further increases in energy density. Thus, in the real world, foods higher in fat may be even higher in energy density than those we used in our diets.
