Can someone please help me here. I'm going with 40% Carbs, 30% Fat and 30% Protein. But my Fat levels are too high but it's Monounsaturated Fats not Saturated Fat. The Mono fat is somewhat high because I eat avocado but Mono Fats are good for you for weight loss and in general..

So should I change my 30% Fat to something else.. or what because I don't eat alot of Saturated Fats mainly Mono's.

    Hi savroy!

    I have the same issue!

    It suggests that I should eat 27 grams of saturated fats, but 0 grams of monounsaturated... that seems REALLY wrong to me!

    I know I shouldn't eat ANY saturated fats, they contribute to cholesterol, but monounsaturated does the opposite, it actually LOWERS cholesterol!

    I also eat avocado, it's probably (usually) the only fat that I eat, except for a little cheese... I don't think I could reduce my fat intake...

    You're a female, you need more fats. Leave your fats alone.
