Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30 percent to 80 percent of calories but only about 4 percent of calories come from poly- unsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, legumes, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.
