    I suggest you talk with your doctor on that. Mine is much more interested my saturated fats than my total fats. It might be because he wants me to take 4 1200 mg fish oil capsules a day. We review my nutrient charts monthly and he has noted, and approves, of me eating cinnamon almonds daily. Boy, are they yummy! :bigsmile:

    Depends on your POV and your goals.

    If you stay under the calories you burn, you lose weight even if 100% of your calories come from fat. OTOH, that's not healthy. (And it sounds kind of gross, actually)

    I only watch my protein and my calories. I try to limit carbs and fats but I don't worry about going over on them on any particular day as long as I get my minimum protein grams and don't go over my calories. But I have low cholesterol and no family history that would indicate I need to worry about the kinds of things eating too much fat would do for you.

    Then again, if I stay under my calories and over on my protein, there is a limit to how much fat I can eat anyway. So, when I go over, it's not by a lot.
