Glad it can help. Just remember this is only the protein Watch for your trans fats, and sat. fats.
How different are the two fats, and is one worse than the other?
The distinction lies in the number of hydrogen atoms each fat molecule contains. All fat molecules consist primarily of strings of carbon atoms to which hydrogen atoms can link; in a saturated fat, every carbon in the chain has as much hydrogen attached to it as possible (the fat is "saturated" because no more hydrogen will fit). Unsaturated fats have less hydrogen; trans fats fall somewhere in the middle and are created when unsaturated fats undergo partial hydrogenation, a process which adds some hydrogen without fully saturating the fat. (The procedure also bends fat molecules into the strange shapes, called trans configurations, that give the fats their name.)
Partially hydrogenated and saturated fats have longer shelf lives than their unsaturated peers. That's because the extra hydrogen raises the fats' melting points, making them more stable at room temperature. Trans fats are useful because they're slightly softer than saturated fats (think margarine vs. butter). And food producers (well aware that they'd have to list any saturated fats on the label) also sometimes opt to use trans fats instead so their products appear more healthful.
Now that the loophole has been closed, snackers will know what they're eating, although nutritionists are still debating whether saturated or trans fat is worse for you. Saturated fats—which you'll find in steak, ice cream, and butter—have been studied for decades, while trans fats—present in doughnuts, fries and margarine—have been under scrutiny for only the last 10 years. Both have been proven to increase low-density lipoprotein, your "bad cholesterol" indicator. LDL transports cholesterol—a waxy substance that helps rebuild cell membranes and create hormones, among other things—from the liver to the rest of the body, where it can accumulate in arteries and cause heart disease.
