I am carb cycling at the moment.
I was reading a recent article on it but not sure how accurate it is but this is what it mentioned
On low carb days 0.8 x bodyweight (lbs)
High carb days 0.6 x bodyweight.

2% of the total daily energy intake should be derived from omega-6 PUFA and 0.5% from omega-3 PUFA (SCF)
Strength trainers will want it higher though. Just is just for hormonal function and health here. You'll perform better the more you eat, obviously you don't push it so high that you get fat, you need to play around with it
Faigin recommends keto dieters get in at least 1g/lb and regular dieters get in 0.5g/lb

This is my thoughts. You will get people giving you all sorts of complicated answers.
Get in the range of 1g per kg bodyweight from a range of most clean type foods and you will be sweet.

you get benefits from all of them.
I usually think of it as about 1/3 from each over a period of time. so each day might be different but over a period, it's roughly 1/3 each sat/mono/poly
although truth be told I probably favour mono and sat more than poly in my own diet. Polys come through incidentally.

For health you just need the omega3/6 to get the endocrine function
The body will prefer to use saturated and monos for energy so the bulk of your calories should come from these. There is also a massive correlation between sat fat intake and strength, mainly all the best foods for strength contain sat fat in massive quantities
It's not as complicated as people seem to think, they probably just don't understand the reasons why and have no reason to learn. I think I sent you the books, Art & Science of Low Carb Performance & Living? It explains it in there very well
So don't do stupid shit like deep frying chicken and wedging it in a "manufactured" bun
