Good fats come mainly from vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fish. They differ from saturated fats by having fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to their carbon chains. Healthy fats are liquid at room temperature, not solid. There are two broad categories of beneficial fats: monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
The types of potentially helpful dietary fat are mostly unsaturated: 1  Monounsaturated fatty acids. This is a type of fat found in a variety of foods and oils. 2  Polyunsaturated fatty acids. This is a type of fat found mostly in plant-based foods and oils. 3  Omega-3 fatty acids.
