The fat of an egg laid by a properly raised chicken is going to be about 39% saturated, 47% monounsaturated, and 14% polyunsaturated. In comparison, beef fat is 45% saturated, 51% monounsaturated, and 5% polyunsaturated. Human body fat is 40% saturated, 57% monounsaturated, and 3% polyunsaturated. Just goes to show that we probably shouldn't be consuming the high levels of polyunsaturated fats found in manmade fats/oils. Zach, you are correct.

30g from 6 eggs
49 from 7 strips of bacon

i realized how little saturated fat there is in both of those. the bacon only contains 2.5g of SF for every 7g of total fat. the eggs were a slightly smaller ratio of 5g total with 1.5g coming from SF.

the rest has to be PUF or MUF, right?

i can't wait until Jeff gets this meat wagon up and running. it's ribeyes from now on!
