Fats should only make up about 15-20% of your diet. The fats that you do eat should mainly consist of unsaturated fats (e.g. oils). This is because saturated fats are harder to break down and use as a fuel, as well as being less healthy. All foods will have the quantity of saturated fats on the packets. Of the 15-20% of fat intake only 5% should be saturated fat.
