Fat Intake

Today I went over my fat intake by 8 but I still did not meet my caloric intake by 690. I still got the message about needing to increase my calories during the day. Do I need to change something? My fat intake today was not trans fats or saturated fats. So I'm not sure how to consider today's food diary. Any advice?

    When I go over on fats it is usually with the good kind. Is this in your case? If it is I would not worry so much about the fat intake. Now if it is from fatty takeout food, that is when I would worry. As long as you net 1200 calories I wouldn't worry that much, unless you hit a plateau.
