Answer:

false.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you probably know, fat can be used by the body as an energy source – both the fat you consume as food and the fat that is already stored in your cells, depending on circumstances.

If you eat an assortment of whole plant foods, you don't need to worry about saturated fats. If you get 100% of your fats from coconut milk and fake meats, then I'd definitely incorporate more variety into your diet.

Healthier, unsaturated fats are mainly from plant sources such as fruit, seeds, nuts and vegetables. Sources of monounsaturates are olive oil and rapeseed oil. Sources of polyunsaturates are sunflower, soya, sesame and corn oils.

Nuts and Nut Butters. Nuts are a great source of protein, healthy fats and calories, making them an excellent choice if you're looking to gain weight. ...

Avocado. ...

Quinoa. ...

Tahini. ...

Olive Oil. ...

Dried Fruit. ...

Legumes. ...

Sweet Potatoes.

All the vegan food listed above- are high in fat.
