Both are good and necessary for your body. Currently recommendations in this arena are that we should have equal amounts of each type of fat (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) which based on a diet that is 30% fat would be 10% from each type. However this is just an estimate; we really aren't very sure because people seem to be better on different amounts of fat. Some people actually are healthier eating more saturated fat. Based on my own experience I would recommend about equal amounts of saturated and monounsaturated fat and just a little bit of polyunsaturated fat (mostly Omega-3's such as can be found in nuts and fish). Absolutely NO trans fat is best!
