You should avoid all trans fat. 0 trans fat.
Avoid saturated fat as well. You should consume as little as possible. Foods that are high in fat but low in saturated fat are acceptable.
Recent health science says that mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats actually lower cholesterol levels. Found in olive/corn oil, eggs yolks, and... wish I knew more off the top of my head. They're referred to as Omega 3, 6 and 9 (mono) but on the food label theyre all grouped under "Fat". Subtract Saturated fat from total fat and thats about how much of the "good" omega fats you're getting.
If you're trying to lose weight only or primarily cut out just about all you can.
Most people never have to worry about not getting enough since most meats have plenty of it. One regular meal of any red meat should get you half your daily limit alone.

its currently suggested we should take our fat intake and divide it by three to get equal amounts of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated. both monounsaturated and saturated fats have a good link to testosterone levels. and of course polyunsaturated fats provide essential fatty acids.
Some foods will list them but it doesn't look like the FDA requires it.
But you can guess which fats are polyunsaturated or monounsaturated by subracting saturated fat from total fat since sat, mono, and poly are the 3 major types of fat found in food. (trans fat is only in a small number of foods and usually in small amounts)
