When poly and monounsaturated fats are consumed should these be deducted from total set daily fat intake? :)

    Yes, they are two of the four types of fats that make up the Total Fat goal.

    Goal (Poly + Mono + Trans + Saturated) = Goal (Total Fat)
    ...rearranging...
    Goal (Poly + Mono) = Goal (Total Fat - Saturated - Trans)
    ...since Goal (Trans) = 0
    Goal (Poly + Mono) = Goal (Total Fat - Saturated)
