Under on fat

Hi all, I've got my goals set to 50/20/30 carbs/protein/fat. I've noticed that I consistently come in short on fat in my daily log. I'm not deliberately avoiding fats and on days that I eat something like nuts or avacados, then of course my numbers jump up, which is fine, but I don't do every day.

I should also say that I supplement Omega3's in pretty high quantities (and count them in my log) on doctor's advice for a condition I have.

That said, should I be worried about not getting enough fat as a macro-nutrient?

Thanks,

Troy

    Probably not. As far as I know there is not a minimum amount of fat a person is supposed to eat in a day. Also, it would be better to look at it over a week rather than just a day as a day low may be offset if you have a day high.
