Types of Fats
Here's another question for you all...
How much attention do you pay to the types of fats that you are getting? For instance, do you get mostly saturated (fatty meats, cheese, etc), or do you aim for more mono and polyunsaturated (fish, nuts, flax, etc)?
Do you think it really matters??

There are good fats and then there are trans fats.
I do try to make sure I get plenty of EPH and DHA via fish oil though

Yes, definitely focus on the mono- and polyunsaturated fats. They're less likely to be stored as opposed to saturated and trans fatty acids.
Think healthy fats - minimize the sausages etc.

I eat whatever fat comes in my food, whether it's saturates in meat and cheese, or polyunsaturates in fish, or mono in olives and olive oil. I also take extra fish oil, 'cos fish has got shocking expensive recently.
I'd much rather get it all from saturates than from polyunsaturates like vegetable oil. Fish oil is a special case, and it's interesting that many of the health claims for vegetables oils are based on studies done using fish oil.

Vegetable (unsaturated) fats first. Animal (saturated) fats next. Don't shy away from either. No trans fats if at all possible.

I'm taking quite a bit of fish oil as well... 8 capsules per day. My taste buds like the saturated fats (meat and cheese) , but I make a point of getting in olive oil as well as avocados and sesame seeds and oils...
