In the app it tells me that I should not be eating any polyunsaturated fats yet gives me a maximum for saturated fat. Should these fields be inverted ie 0 saturated fats and a limit for polyunsaturated fats.

Polyunsaturated fats are cerainly better for you from a health perspective.

    The limit for saturated fats is just that, a limit. There is no limit for unsaturated fats according to current nutritional recommendations. Stay as close to your saturated fat number as is reasonable, then fill inthe rest of the fats with unsaturated fats.

    Personally, I don't see any types of fats as an issue, as some saturated fats are healthy, and some unsaturated fats are unhealthy, so I just watch my main fat goal, and don't bother trying to micromanage macronutrients.
