The are two different types of Unsaturated fat, Monounsaturates and Polyunsaturates. If the question is which foods contain little or no saturated fat, you'll probably find it difficult to find many foods that are included in the answer. Generally, processed meals are higher in saturates, as well as most dairy products (especially cheese).
You should be fine eating anything that has been made from fresh ingredients, though. Meat, vegetables, nuts and egg are enough to make countless healthy meals.
