As little as possible
The general recommendation for daily calorie deficit for losing body fat is around 500 to 1000 calories below your maintenance level.
The usual stated maximal allowable amount of saturated fat (not an RDA, because actually no amounts of saturated fat is to be recommended) for men or women is 20% of daily fat intake, or about 15-20 grams max per day.
The daily recommended intake for fat is 18 grams or less for a total of 1,600 calories. You should take about 25 percent fat of your daily calories.
For optimum health you should try to get between 60% and 80% of your daily calories from saturated fat. The rest should be protein with a small amount from carbohydrates.
No RDI is stated for unsaturated fat however there is for saturated fat. (approx 20 - 25 grams saturated fat for an recommended total intake of about 70 grams of fat.) So this works out to be a ratio of about 30% saturated and 70% unsaturated. Meaning, if your total fat intake is around 70g then this would amount to 20g for saturated and 50g for unsaturated fat.
Too much saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol, which can increase the risk of heart disease. You should therefore consume no more than your recommended daily intake.

YES, 1 cup (240mL) of 1% Lowfat milk generally has about 1.5g to 1.6g of Saturated fat which is about 8% of the daily value of Saturated fat. There are some milk products that have the Saturated fat removed, but they are a special product and not typical milk. Old, incorrect answer (Simply look on the label of your milk): No. Saturated fat is fat that you would see on steaks, bacon, and other meats as a solid. Unsaturated fats are the oils and are found in milk because of their liquid state.
A 12-year-old girl should aim for a daily intake of saturated fat that constitutes less than 10% of her total daily calories. For a typical diet of about 2,000 calories, this translates to about 22 grams of saturated fat per day. It's important for her to focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats while limiting saturated fat intake from sources like fatty cuts of meat, full-fat dairy, and processed foods. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized dietary recommendations.
