Foods high in Total lipid (fat)

This list ranks foods by grams of total fat per 100 grams, and because fat supplies more than twice the energy of protein or carbohydrate gram for gram, the highest-ranked entries are almost entirely pure fats and oils rather than everyday foods eaten in large amounts. A high ranking here says nothing on its own about whether a food is a healthy choice, since what matters most for health is the type of fat a food provides, not the total amount. Unsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, nuts, and fish are associated with better cardiovascular outcomes, while the saturated fat concentrated in butter, fatty meat, and many processed foods, and the trans fat found in partially hydrogenated oils, raise LDL cholesterol and are linked to greater disease risk. Most people don't need to seek out high-fat foods specifically, since typical mixed diets already supply enough total fat, with guidance instead focused on keeping saturated fat under roughly 10% of daily calories. Use this ranking as a starting point for seeing where fat comes from in your diet, then check a food's balance of saturated, unsaturated, and trans fat before deciding whether a high ranking here is a reason for interest or for caution.
