Rendered animal fat runs 900 kcal per 100 g with 29% saturated. An umbrella review of 9 meta-analyses (Unhapipatpong et al., Nutrients 2021) found swapping olive-type oils for lard raised LDL by +8.39 mg/dL. High-heat stability is real; the blood-lipid trade-off is also real.
How should I track Fat, turkey?
Fat, turkey is high in vitamin d. With calorie-dense foods like Fat, turkey, a kitchen scale is your best friend. Research shows that portion estimation errors reach 50–200% for fats and oils (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) — even a tablespoon off can mean 40–120 extra calories. Weigh on a scale rather than eyeballing — this applies to both liquid oils and solid fats like butter. If you use cooking sprays, note that "0 calorie" labels are per fraction-of-a-second spray — a realistic burst is closer to 5–10 calories, and multiple sprays add up.
