Ground Turkey!

wadebelakk Posts: 9 Joined: 2007/01/20	2008/02/01, 05:28 PM Hey there in substitute of a chicken breast i always cook some ground turkey and mix it with mushrooms and onions and throw it in a whole wheat flax seed wrap...so good! My question is regarding the fat content: Per 100g 7g Fat 2g Saturated 0g Trans 20g Protein So out of the 7g of fats there are 5g of other fats that they don't list...are they mono/poly fats? Thanks!

Besides, the fat deal if you are not yet aware is much overhyped. Been preaching this for years, if you ignore all fat you can you can actually be doing your body much harm. The body needs fat. Overall calories in the end is your ticket. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

On the package it lists: Per 100g of turkey 7g Fat 2g Saturated 0g Trans It only shows 2g(saturated) out of the 7g. What is the other 5g of fat in the turkey that they do not list? Thanks!
