Hi, G
Transfat is a man-made fat that is made out of vegetable oils (hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils) but acts in your body like saturated fat (the kind that comes from animals). Calorie-wise all fat is the same--9 calories per gram. But saturated fat and trans fat are linked to high cholesterol and heart disease, so it's important to keep them down to a minimum.
Hope this helps.
