Saturated fats are the bad ones and you should avoid them. They are solid at room temperature, so they are fats like lard, margarine etc.
Unsaturated fats are not so bad and some are even good for you in the right quantities... like olive oil, sunflower oil, etc.
If my memory serves me right, each has roughly the same calorific value, but I may be wrong.
