Is Fat Pescatarian?

Caution

Sometimes. Fat can come from animal, plant, or synthetic sources. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Fat and the Pescatarian Diet

Fat is one of the three primary macronutrients alongside carbohydrates and proteins. It serves as a major energy source and is crucial for absorbing certain vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Fats can be derived from animal sources like butter and lard, plant sources like olive oil and avocados, or synthetic processes like margarine production. They are essential for maintaining healthy skin and hair, insulating body organs against shock, and maintaining body temperature. The types of fat include saturated, unsaturated (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated), and trans fats.
