I am consistently going over my fat allocation and in my opinion, I'm not eating anything that's too far out there on the fat scale. Maybe I'm wrong.
I opened my food diary so please take a look and let me know what you think. For my activity level, I feel pretty satisfied at the end of the day.
I work out 4 days a week and walk to work 3 days a week (I don't really consider this exercise but I log it anyway even though it's low impact).
I have 2 hard days at the gym and I run twice a week on separate days. I don't know if I provided enough information but I'm interested in your thoughts.

You are probably undereating dietary fat.
See page 2 of this website: http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/
Protein= 0.60-0.80 grams per 1 lb. bodyweight (this range promotes new muscle synthesis)
Dietary Fat = a bare minimum of 0.40-0.45 grams per 1 lb. bodyweight (more is better if maintaining or bulking)
Carbs and Alcohol fill in the rest of your calories. Opt for high fiber, nutritious carbs and do not abuse alcohol.
Protein: 4 calories per gram
Dietary Fat: 9 calories per gram
Carbs: 4 calories per gram
Alcohol: 7 calories per gram0 -
Thanks! I'm looking into that site.0
