Went over my fat allowance

Hello friends! So I stayed under my calorie deficit today (yay!) but went over my daily allowed fat grams. (Over by -7). Will this make a difference? Or am I okay since I still stayed under my calorie deficit?

    You are fine! Weight loss is all about being in a calorie deficit. If you calories are below your allotment you will lose.

    Calories are what matter for weight loss. Fat and protein are generally looked at as minimums to reach.

    Do you have medical issues in which you are required to have very little fat in your diet?? If no, you're fine.

    I changed most of my "limits" because I'm tired of getting alerts....dear MFP, I live in the desert, I drink 2-3 gallons of water a day, I need to up my sodium intake.
