Help with fats page

Hey everyone,
Will somebody please breakdown into simple terms what fats I should be eating and the percentages of each i.e.: MUFA, PUFA, SFA, ect… Thanks.

If I recall:

Fats should be 70-80% of your total calorie intake.

half of that should be satured fat.
no more than ten percent should be PUFA.
The rest should be MUFA.

Trans fat = the devil.

It doesn't really work that way. Depends on your goals, your height, weight, sex, activity level. Fats should account for at least 50% of your diet but there's no hard and fast rule as to what that percentage is made up of. Read this: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/fats/ If you're eating good foods, your percentages will take care of themselves.
