This all depends on your goals for eating. Are you trying to maintain your current weight, or trying to lose weight?
If you are trying to lose weight, the right kinds of fats are your friends. A typical diet that is well balanced with carbohydrates, proteins, and fats should have anywhere from 25% calories from fats on the low end, to as much as 45% calories from fats.
That said, this is not bacon and cheeseburgers fats. Experts recommend that you take in equal amounts of fat calories from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat, with slightly fewer calories from saturated fat.
Among the polyunsaturates, you need to eat a balance of omega-3s and omega-6s. The best oils to use in cooking to insure you are eating the right kinds of fat each day are:
Extra virgin olive oil
Canola oil
Enova oil (made from olive and Canola)
Butter
Other good sources are:
fish oil capsules (a supplement that is a rich source of omega-3)
flaxseed oil (more omega-3)
Butter but in SMALL amounts
Natural nut butters, no sweetners added.
Your question should ask what are the correct types of fat to include in your diet. Healthy dietary fats would be monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These are found in olive oil, sunflower, corn and peanut oil. Less than 20% of your calories should come from fat.
The highest percentage of your diet should be carbohydrates.
I can't give you a specific number. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 7% of calories should come from saturated fat, so I'd guesstimate around 13-23% of your calories should be from unsaturated fat. It depends on the total percentage of fat in your diet.
At least 20% of your diet should consist of fats.
A low carb, high fat diet (LCHF) is a diet based on a high intake of fat and a low intake of carbohydrates.Common foods are:ButterCreamCheeseOilNutsBroccoliCauliflowerRed meatFishChickenHigh fat yogurtBaconCreme fraicheMayonnaiseEggs

They don't. Any athlete needs a large amount of protein, carbohydrates and vitamins and minerals, but fat is definitely something that should be taken in low amounts.
