I have reached my allowed fat intake for the day and I still have 693 calories left. I am still hungry. Do I eat?

Eat until u reach your calories goal. It doesn't matter that u went over on your fat intake, that's going to happen once in a while. But you do need to net your calorie goal to lose weight.0

HAHAHA!!! I was going over my food for the day and thought my bagel looked funny... it listed ZERO carbs. So I changed it and guess what!!! I have 17 fat left. I feel better now.0

Depends on what you plan on eating. Have fruit. Nuts have healthy fat. There are so many contributing factors. Are you drinking enough water? That will curb your appetite. So will vitamin C or caffeine, but it is kinda late in the day for caffeine. But my thought is if you're really hungry, then eat, but if you're snacking because it's what you normally do, do something else.0

Short answer - yes
Slightly longer answer. Firstly, if you are using MFPs default settings - they are really low for fats. Secondly, your fat target (and protein) should really be considered a minumum. Going over is fine, as long as you day is balanced with nutritious food.0 -

The problem with MFP (though I think it great) is that most of the database entries are made by users and are wrong in quite a few instances. I usually check to see how many confirmations that entry had (the more the better), as well as making sure the numbers made sense (as in the zero carb bagel you noticed).0 -
YES you should eat, pay more attention to calories not the other stuff, after awhile of logging you will be eating better and most likely stay under on the other stuff too. good luck0

Not true! If that were the case then Mose days I would be eating well Over 1800 calories where my goal before exercise is 1350, I know that if I want to lose weight I need to keep my calorie intakeright around 1500. If it doesn't matter if ou go over on your fat intake we would all be eating McDonald's fat is fat unless you know which fats you are eating. Is your fat coming from butter or olive oil? Potato chips or nuts? In both case the latter is actually good for you.0 -

What she said IS true (kind of). From a weigh loss perspective, fat is fat. From a nutrition perspective, yes there are better fats than others.
