When healthy adult men eat a large mixed meal high in fat, their blood free fatty acid levels rise slowly and peak after 6 hours. When they eat a meal with 75 grams of pure fat, their free fatty acid levels rise faster, peak at 4 hours, and stay high at 6 hours. The type of fat in the meal affects when and how much free fatty acid appears in the blood.

Characteristics and correlation analysis of postprandial free fatty acids and cortisol levels in males after different meals: a clinical trial
Randomized Controlled Trial
Human
2026When men ate a meal with just pure fat, their fat levels in the blood went up quickly and stayed high. When they ate a bigger, mixed meal with lots of fat, the fat levels dropped first, then rose later—after six hours. So, what you eat really changes when your body releases fat into the blood.
