% of fat
The American Heart Association recommends that people keep calories from saturated fat to no more than 5% to 6% of their total calories.

My new mantra! Let me explain, it means that even if you don't do it perfectly, keep working at it because it is worth doing, even badly. I blew my calorie count today, but I won't quit because I will stay in it tomorrow. I didn't get to do 3 workouts this week. Two is better than none, keep trying. This quote that I read…
