My husband told me I have to keep my fat under 25g a day so trust me I know its hard to keep it lower! You can do it though!
Interesting! Why 25g?
he said that's how much you're supposed to have if you want to lose weight. I've only been trying it for about a week so we'll see if it works or not lol its very hard to do. I feel like I'm eating a lot but my calories are just so low all the time.

Yes its difficult keeping up with calories, I end up with a lot of sugar this way lol!0 -

Sigh. Fat is good, saturated fat is bad. If 25grams is working for you ... okay, but maybe try a bit higher mine is around the 50-55 mark.
Along with protein and carbohydrate, fat is one of three macronutrients the human body needs to survive. These macronutrients provide the energy needed for growth and basic body functions. Fat provides energy, cushions your organs and allows the body to absorb necessary nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E and K. Fats also give foods flavor and consistency. A diet deficient in fat would be unhealthy and would lack flavor.

My interesting fact that I've posted was that I have tried lots of diets then stopped after a week, I never do or stick with anything unless I'm sure of all the facts.
I've done some research and yes fat is good, I've posted in my blog:

I don't really have too much trouble keeping my fat lower and according to the 1st link I'm almost spot on for my fat intake, it says 28g and I'm usually between 25-30. The problem I have is the foods that I'm eating aren't really that high in calories either. I very rarely eat red meat, I pretty much eat chicken or turkey everyday. I've found that since I've lowered my fat that I'm full longer, its very hard for me to eat all that I need to eat just to stay above 1200 calories. I follow it very strictly M-F but on the weekends I'm more lax about it and usually go over a little bit. I don't have a problem at all with flavor in my food! I go over on sugar quite a bit but a lot of it is from fruit so I don't see it as a bad thing since its a different kind of sugar. I've lost a little bit of weight so far and I'll see how it works for a few more weeks, if I feel deprived or a lack of energy then I'll definitely reconsider adding a little more fat in and see if that helps. I don't a lot of saturated fat either, almost all my fat is unsaturated.0

I don't like fish but I got some salmon cause my husband loves it and I'm gonna try cooking it in a way that I will like. My husband used to love beef but we switched to ground turkey for everything we used to make with hamburger and now he likes that better. Every now and then I'll make steak or something but its very rare.0 -
I would really love a twin too!!!0
