My daily fat is set at 41g, and after eating mostly fruits and veggies, a tiny bit of olive oil, a luna bar, and 1/2C of sesame sticks I'm over for the day. Dinner hasn't even come yet! I don't even want to think about how much fat I was eating before starting MFP. :/ How much fat are you eating?

    85 grams or so. I'm basing that off 0.7g/LBM lb

    I wouldn't worry too much if you go over as long as it's healthy fats. Your body needs fat to function. Olive oils, nuts etc are healthy fats that I wouldn't worry about as much.

    40% protein, 30% Carbs and 30% Fat. Had a yummy avocado with breakfast. Fat is not the enemy. Food is not the enemy.

    20 to 40, though I try to stay at the low end of that range.

    Same here. Also coconut oil and flax seeds. I'm a vegetarian who doesn't eat a ton of dairy or egg, so I generally have to add fat to my meals, rather than reduce it.

    I don't want to tell you what to eat or not to eat, but the sesame sticks are not helping if you're trying to watch fat intake. I mean they are undoubtedly delicious and I don't advocate completely cutting off food you love, but aren't they just a fried dough mixed with sesame seeds?

    Bump! I'm interested in this because it was pointed out to me that my fat intake is too low. I think I am around 20-30mg a day.

    100g to 120g a day. But I'm low-carbing, keeping carbs in the 20g to 50g range. (There's type 2 diabetes in my family, and I don't want to go there.)

    about 50g. If it starts dipping much lower I stop losing weight! I get most of mine from olive oil, nuts, eggs, advocados lower fat cheeses and tofu :)
