How much fat is in your diet?
Replies
-
My goal is 30% or 60 grams. I usually eat over that 70-75 grams, not intentionally, it just happens.0

80 grams per day, 30%...0

Fats can be my highest macro because they fill me up, more so than any other macro. When I did low carb I was hardly ever hungry from eating nearly 80% fat. I try to keep them good sources, but often it's things like cheese and eggs. But I don't fret, it's not trans fats. Lately without really trying, fat and protein are pretty equal.2

50g per day.0

I'm currently at 40%carbs-35%fat-25% protein, which gives me 61g fats. I track those plus fiber, and see all but calories as goals, not limits. This has been sustainable for me so i'm sticking with it. I do struggle with protein goal some days, but overall i've been successful this way.

Usually around 60g. More before my period so I don't binge on carbs.
Would probably make my GP crazy as she told me to eat fat free everything for my cholesterol (which didn't seem to help anyway), but it's that or being hungry all the time, so yeah.2 -

AFAIK, eating excess refined sugar raises bad cholesterol more than eating excess fat.
Anecdotally - Eating more good fat raised my good cholesterol, and doctor says that high good cholesterol is better than low cholesterol, which makes sense to me.

I usually eat 50-55% fat (80-100 grams), 30% protein (I'm usually short on that), and 20% carbs. It works for me. I didn't start losing though until I got my calories under control. I never have energy dips or blood sugar issues.0

Around 60g.. I get 'wonky' when it's lower.1
-
Around 120g. I try to hit 70% fat at a minimum.1
-

30% - I focus on heart healthy and cholesterol lowering foods.0

I looked back at a few days, and it looks like 30%+ for me.0

yea my dr told me to have a low fat high fruit/veg diet. I said nope. ha.1 -
60% is recommended intake for me but i do maybe 25-30% which does me ok for the day.0

-
100g+ plus a day. Around 30-40g of saturated fats from coconut oil a day.1

i've been seeing the lchf diet pop up here and there, and I'm wondering how anyone fits that much fat into their day, since fats are so high calorie. I'm ALWAYS super low on fat intake in my macros, always over on protein, and under in carbs. Though I do notice that when I have been really low on fat consumption, I crave avocados like crazy.
How much fat do you consume on the regular, and how much fat is really essential? I've had a few super active friends tell me that fats are really important, but for a person who's not a cycling junkie, how much is enough?
You hv to be careful if u take more fat u should lower the carbs intake u can play around and see how u feeling and ofcourse whats are your goals r importand0 -
I haven't learned how to convert the number on the chart to a percentage of macros. I just know the government suggests I eat more fat than I'm eating. Most days the number on the chart is around 50.0

I'm beginning to wonder if men generally can tolerate a lower fat% in their diet than women can? And health/diet recommendations are often (still, sigh) given by and for men. Could there be something in this?0
