As far as I anecdotally experienced, I used to ingest a significant amount of SAFAs (edit: 36 g per day) as a lacto-ovo (from cheese, yogurt, chocolate and butter mainly) and displayed a good lipid profile. That was my case before eating vegan. I believe it was the high amount of phytosterols, fiber, EVOO, fruit and vegetables with all the protective phytochemicals therein.
Now my weekly average as a vegan is 26 g day-1, and I suppose my lipid profile should be even better. But I'm going to check it. Mainly EVOO, chocolate and cacao, nuts, soymilk. Even as a vegan it seems hard to drop below 15-20 g day-1 SAFAs, unless you follow McDougall's suggestions and have no EVOO nor nuts and check your chocolate as well.
But those are mainly healthy fats as Dr. Valter Longo, who nearly got the nobel prize, writes:
Healthy fats: EVOO, all nuts and seeds, avocados, olives....
