Oils and fats are both types of lipids, but the distinction lies in their saturation levels. Generally, oils are liquid at room temperature and tend to be more unsaturated, containing one or more double bonds in their fatty acid chains. Fats, particularly those that are solid at room temperature, are usually more saturated, having fewer double bonds. Therefore, oils are typically less saturated than solid fats.
