Fat vs other Fats

Hi

On the daily nutritional total grams page, What is the difference between the bar that records FAT and the bars that record the other types of fat ie saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and Trans

To my knowledge there are only 4 types of fat (as listed above) so what does the ‘Fat’ bar show as these fats are already listed separately.

I hope someone can explain these break downs a little further.

Thanks
Katie

    Fat is total fat. The others are subsets.

    Similarly, carbs include all carbs, but MFP also shows sugar and fiber separately.
