Ok, so Protein does NOT equal fat. However, my point is, if you are eating alot more protein to offset some other thing like carbs just be aware that the Meat food Group has more fat then the dairy and carb food groups. So it's important to pay attention to your fat intake. As always talk to a doctor to find out what your body is missing to know the best diet for yourself.
A side note: eating alot of fiber can help reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs.

Your post has alot of misinformation in it. Could you please rephrase?0 -
But fat doesn't make you fat0

I was once afraid of fat too. Chances are if someones fat intake that far out of control, chances are their diet is comprised of junk and/or way off balance.
Rough guidelines
1g protein for every lb of body weight or 1.5g for every lb of lean mass.
.4g fat for every lb of body weight.
Fill in the rest with complex carbohydrates.
Water
Rest

But I thought fat was high in protein?0

You don't have to eat meat or fat to get protein. Not that either meat or fat is bad for you, I'm just sayin'0

You can get proteins from other sources than meat. Meh, I eat meat at least 2 times a day without trimming the excess off. Total calories is what matters more than anything else.0

Umm, my chicken and salmon have lots of protein and very little fat.
Salmon does have a bit of fat compared to chicken actually, but fat that you need.0 -

See what I did there? Just as silly0 -
1) all I did was point out that the Meat food group, NOT PROTEIN, is the highest food group for fat. Alot of people think dairy is the highest in fat.
2) I never said fat was bad for you, but too much of anything is, and I see alot of people suggesting protein instead of carbs, so if that's the case it's good to be aware of the amount of fat their eating.
3) If you already know this then this post wasn't for you.0 -
Every post is for me, it's on the interwebz, if it wasn't for me in would have been a pm.
making blanket statements is dangerous0 -

Shrimp = meat
Fat (shrimp) < Fat (cheddar cheese)
BOOM! Just shot your whole post all to hell.0
