I've done low carb before, but not low carb high fat. I guess that's why I had no energy. I had my physical and my HDL levels are low and my triglycerides were a lil high. It has scared me because heart disease runs in my family. My doctor has told me to watch my diet and get plenty of exercise. I'm not exactly sure how high fat can be good for you. I'm assuming it's not saturated fat. I'm not sure where to start. What to eat? Can someone give me some advice, guidance?

Put your goals into MFP and it will give you a percentage of protein, fats and carbs. You can track this in the nutrition section as you log throughout the day. You could start there and thee adjust it manually. I always go over on carbs and under on fat and protein. I have trouble hitting the protein target because I'm a vegetarian. I don't worry about it too much. I do the best I can and stay within my calorie goals.
