Calorie for calorie in terms of weight loss yes ..CICO is just a mathematical formula
But health connotations are different eg sat fat effect on LDL cholesterol and risk of strokes/ heart issues0 -
Do not worry about saturated fat. The government has backed off from the old recommendations.3

It depends if the fat calories came from your cake muffin sandwich.4

"have they? Which govt? Do you have a link? The american heart organisation and the NHS still seem pretty clear on limiting intake of sat fat"
SuedOnim you may have meant "NIH" which is the US government national institute of health (not NHS)
SuedOnim.you may find this article interesting to get educated on studies on fat and cholesterol: Kuipers RS, et al. Neth J Med. 2011
Look it up on pubmed- it's a good source for scientific studies & medicine or health related articles...good reference for your education -- AHA ( American Heart Association) has changed its stance on cholesterol and low lipid density based on these studies.. Goodnight1 -
The American Heart Association is not a government agency.0

No I didn't ...I meant the NHS ...the UK national health service ...why would I mean NIH ?...I was commenting globally.
I am quite adept with scientific studies thank you which is why I asked the question, because I assumed you had the source for the comment.
I am not disputing that it has been withdrawn, just that on a cursory look, including the American Heart Association's guidance I can find nothing and assumed you have the authority's commentary
This is the latest from the AHA, updated February this year http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/HealthyLiving/HealthyEating/Nutrition/Saturated-Fats_UCM_301110_Article.jsp#.V49XdpB4WrU
"The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a dietary pattern that achieves 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fat. That means, for example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 120 of them should come from saturated fats. That’s about 13 grams of saturated fats a day."
This NIH metastudy is from 2015 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26068959..
.I have only scanned the abstract but may have missed something
"The findings of this updated review are suggestive of a small but potentially important reduction in cardiovascular risk on reduction of saturated fat intake. Replacing the energy from saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat appears to be a useful strategy, and replacement with carbohydrate appears less useful, but effects of replacement with monounsaturated fat were unclear due to inclusion of only one small trial. This effect did not appear to alter by study duration, sex or baseline level of cardiovascular risk. Lifestyle advice to all those at risk of cardiovascular disease and to lower risk population groups should continue to include permanent reduction of dietary saturated fat and partial replacement by unsaturated fats. The ideal type of unsaturated fat is unclear."2 -
Let me be clear on this ...I am asking out of personal curiosity and not to catch anyone out. I have an ongoing interest in nutrition and health and cannot find any withdrawal, by government, or nationally recognised health associations that say limiting sat fat is no longer recommended
So if anyone can link to that I'd be grateful. Thanks0 -
I eat 100 grams of Fat most days its all about total calories..1

The recommendations about sat fat have not been withdrawn. The current US Dietary Guidelines have removed the limit on FAT as a whole, not sat fat, which we are still advised to limit. Some people seem to have mixed up the too and, of course, in some corners (like the LCHF one) the idea that sat fat is 100% great in all amounts and sugar the opposite seems to be a truism, but it's neither supported by the US gov't nor experts (I refer to the Harvard nutrition and Mayo clinic sites, which will say that cutting sat fat and replacing with refined carbs isn't useful, but replacing with healthy fats or fruits and veg and whole grains is).
So you were right, and the US and UK seem to be in tune. Special relationship forever! ;-)2 -
US Recommendations have not been withdrawn. They were changed in 2010 to say that both saturated and trans fats should combined make up no more than 10% of calorie intake. Later they stated they don't recommend the consumption of any trans fats.

Anyways, OP. As far as calories, yes. But we know that these fats can cause heart disease, so for your health i would stick to the recommendation. If you consume 2,000 calories per day you shouldn't consume more than 200 calories a day from saturated fats or any more than 22 grams.0 -
"Research is mounting that saturated fat is better for you than processed carbohydrates like sugar and white bread"

Maybe someday they will say sat fat is better than fruits, veggies, and whole grains.3 -

Why do you think your body would choose to burn off calories only from fat?2 -
I wrote too instead of two above. How can this be! The embarrassment.5

How many calories do i have to burn in order to burn the 200 cals of sat fat? 2000?
Did you really just ask how many calories to burn to burn off 200 calories? Ummm... 200 calories?2 -

You'd have to burn 200 calories. Remember, a calorie is a calorie, regardless of it's source. The difference here, as others have pointed out, is sat. fat in and of itself, is unhealthy. Even if sat. fat had zero calories, you'd still want to limit it.1 -

You can't exercise X amount to burn off a specific amount of saturated fat.
Edited to clarify: you can't decide which fuel sources specifically are burned through exercise. For example you can't eat 200 cal of sat fat and 200 calories of carbs and then exercise away the sat fat calories. This is how I'm reading your question. If my interpretation is wrong, ignore me.1 -
I wonder if trolls have different digestive systems, they may be like cows and have 4 distinct stomachs
Some days I'd like to have 4 distinct stomachs rather than my standard two
You know the food stomach and the always room for pudding stomach5 -

I thought trolls had three stomachs, two spleens, one kidney, and a very small brain located in their backside. Although my troll anatomy course is pretty old.2 -

So basically their is no way possible to know how much fat you burn off right? I heard something after a certain time amount, your body starts burning/ breaking down fat to use as a source of energy in a workout after oyou use up a certain amount of carbs cals right?
You're confusing Sat. Fat with Body Fat.

No - wrong.
For the vast majority of time when exercising your body is burning both carbs and fat. The proportion of the two is mainly determined by exercise intensity.
Stop sweating the small stuff! Concentrate on sustaining a sensible daily/weekly deficit and you will lose body fat.1 -
