Does anybody change the daily fats on their calorie/nutrients

Because I eat a healthy amout of almonds and walnuts, I am always over on poly and mono fats. Is this a bad thing?

On my mobile application, it says I shouldn't be eating any poly or mono. My weekly totals for polyunsaturated fat is 36 and my monounsaturated fat is 29. Last weeks totals were 42/32

    i've always assumed the unsaturated fats were unlimited and that's why they're at 0. (well, unlimited but within the general fat percentage, where saturated needs to be limited).

    yeah, poly and monoun fats are good. saturated keep limited. trans stay away.

    3/4 cup of rice vs 1/4 almonds? I rather have cup of rice. more food but same calorie count.

    body naturally burns carbs before fats.
