Saturated Fat %

I see a lot about oily fish etc with high omega 3 fats and other good fats, but what kind of percentage saturated to poly would you consider as good? Salmon for instance maybe be high in omega 3 but it has just as much saturated fat. Say if my target is 40g of fat per week, i know i want to make as much of that good fat, but what would you consider an "ok" level of saturtated?

Simply try to cut down all visible saturated fat and you'll be okey. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
