I just pre-logged my food for today. After I work out tonight I will be under calories however I will be 37 grams over on fat (avacado for snack and olive oil in a salad dressing so all good fats). Will this hinder my weight loss?
TIA!!

As long as you eat enough protein (ideally 1g per pound of lean body mass but 1g per kg of body weight is acceptable) being over on fat is fine. Fats and protein should be viewed as minimum values so it's fine to go over. Carbs are unnecessary so you don't have to worry about eating enough. Some people do low carb, some people find their exercise suffers if they keep carbs to low, do what works for you.

No...but it is likely you are deficient elsewhere in your macro goals. What are your ratios? Are you getting enough protein?0

MFP has me set up for 51 grams of protein and I will have 65...

I typically worry more about Sat Fat than regular fat, because as you stated, some healthy foods have high fat content.0

I've been on a low carb, moderate protein, and high fat diet, and have been losing weight well! Every other diet I've tried has failed me, but this one seems to be working better than any I have tried! My hunger is less than at any other time, also! I've only been on myfitnesspal for less than two weeks, but have been doing this kind of diet since the day after Easter.
So, I would say that more fat should not slow your weight loss down at all, and may keep you from getting hungry. And you said that they were all good fats, and that is important. No trans fats or processed oils from the grocery store, or those in ready-made baked products.
This is working for me. It may not be the same for everyone.0 -

Dietary fat doesn't make you fat, caloric surplus does.0

Thnks everyone, I appreciate it!0

I've noticed that when I exercise, I "buy back" fats and carbs as well as calories, so maybe after you exercise, you won't be much over.0

Yes, I agree. We don't have to be afraid of saturated fats. I had the best blood test numbers when I was eating eggs every day, and sometimes bacon with them, and grass-fed beef for supper (because we raise it). It's just that people don't believe you when you say that.0

Will having to much fat within your calorie limit cause any health problems?0 -
