On my nutriental daily guidelines it has that I should eat 0 poly/mono unsaturated fats? I always thought these where good fats ( so to speak) however each time I eat a bit of fish etc I go over the goal!

    MFP doesn't have a goal set for those so it will always look like you're going over. I wouldn't worry about it.

    There is a reported issue on the iOS app where it incorrectly displays the poly- and monounsaturated fats goals as zero instead of N/A as on the Web version and Android version.
    Please see this thread for the reported issue.

    They are healthy fats...but there isn't any kind of officially established recommendation out there...like for Saturated fats, the target is a maximum. There are no official minimum or maximum targets that have been established by any governing body in RE to poly/mono fats.

    If you need more fats just eat nuts,seeds (better raw or baked not fried) and avocado.
