Why would a diet containing unsaturated fats that form triglycerides be better for an athlete when considering energy levels and health?

A. Unsaturated fats are packed closer together, making them higher in energy storage levels and fluid within the body.
B. Saturated fats have double bonds, making them harder to break down for energy release and creating artery clogging structures.
C. Saturated fats are packed closer together, making their breakdown for energy release less efficient and forming unnecessary fat deposits.
D. Unsaturated fats have a linear structure, making them easy to break down and releasing high amounts of energy when glucose levels are low.


C. Saturated fats are packed closer together, making their breakdown for energy release less efficient and forming unnecessary fat deposits.
