    Fat content of animal based meat/offal is dependent on:

    1. What animal (species) we're talking about
    2. What age the animal was at slaughter
    3. What sex the animal was at slaughter
    4. What the animal was fed before slaughter
    5. What genetics the animal was selected for
    6. What part of the animal the cut whose fat content is being scrutinized came from

    And probably other things I am forgetting at the moment. And not even addressing fat added during processing. But that's a solid start.

    This is ridiculously over the top. Whelp, i guess the question is impossible to answer unless you live on a ranch and raise, cut, and grind your own meats. And does the animal sex change after slaughter?

    No one needs hyper accurate data to improve fitness. The general type and cut of the meat is plenty of information for calorie counting purposes.

    Chips were fat. Open your diary. How many chips? The whole bag?
    The whole bag!? Haha I only had the rrecommended 125g.

    Don't forget that this is an American website. Chips in the US are crisps in the UK.
    This is why you were asked whether you ate the whole bag. =)
    In my experience, it's wise to make it known that you are from UK or with certain foods translate it. For example; Crisps (Potato Chips) or Chips (Fries).

    I would recommend focusing on your relationship with food, then worrying about the rest of it. You're avoiding foods, worrying about what to swap out, and questioning how to lower your fat numbers because someone told you pork is high in fat, without taking into account the type of pork or the amount. Please take care of yourself. :flowerforyou:

    Open up your diary temporarily and I am sure there will be many people that will be able to help you with some alternatives.
    My relationship with food isn't healthy. I don't feel confident to show it sorry. I am trying to get normal and healthy eating habbits but I'm not near that stage at all yet it takes time i guess

    The important thing is that you're moving in the right direction. And finding out about nutrition can take a while, so good job on getting started on that.

    Definitely recommend looking up macros and fiber and finding out why each are essential to a healthy you.

    Pre logging your day can help out a lot too. You can switch things around in order to see what helps meet your goals.

    I usually pre log for college days and I agree I think it helps a lot. Then its easier to make sure to eat enough/ not binge or something. I really need to try add more protein and iron is my main goal ATM. Thank you for replying :)
