I'm a bit confused. When looking at labels, which of these should I be looking at or should I combine both when choosing the right foods? Thanks!

Fat / Lipides 2.0 g	3 %
Saturated / saturés 1 g + Trans / trans 0 g	5 %

the only fat I avoid are trans fats. but.... I also look at what is the source of the fat and I avoid soy oil, hydrogenated oils, canola oils..

anything else - is a fair game to me..

avocado, nuts, bacon, meats, eggs.. etc..

It is always good to avoid trans fat
