I am 15/30/55 for Carbs/Protein/Fat. So higher fat is normal... but I think there are some low-carb diets that push the protein. I try to stick with a high fat, low carb diet.

For me personally I find that my weight loss is the best when I have a high fat diet with 20 or less carbs a day. You can reset your MFP to different goals for your nutrition. I keep mine at a 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbs. Fat is really not bad for you like so many believe. New studies have even shown better heart health results in low carb high fat diets than in high carb low fat diets.

Don't be afraid of fat!

It is sooooo your weight loss friend!

Aye, good fats

The fat consumption/heart disease thing has been thoroughly debunked as has the 'high cholesterol consumption will kill you' thing.

The 'lipid hypothesis' was based on bad science and backed up with fudged study results. It is what got us into this 'fat phobic' state and ultimately is what is driving obesity.

The vast majority of people overweight are not being gluttons or lazy, they have been victims of bad nutrional advice.

Most people REALLY want to lose weight so will follow guidelines and exercise, and still they can't lose it. There is a reason for this, the guidelines are wrong. The food pyramid is a crock of poltically motivated ****.

If you make fat the enemy then the calories have to go somewhere, and they went to carbohydrate because the body can only process so much protein.

Big mistake.

According to Gary Taubes in "Why We Get Fat" you are supposed to eat a higher fat content, otherwise the high protein content in your diet can become toxic. So, don't worry. You should be fine. And I highly recommend reading that book. I couldn't believe all of the interesting stuff in there. Not only that, but every time I read I good food science book it keeps me on track to a balanced, healthy diet.

There's only 3 macronutrients, so if you are lowering one the other two have to go up. Mmm, fat!

65% Fat, 10% Carb for me today.

The carbs are actually a bit low today as I like to get more leafy veg in. 15% would be better.

Contributors of this fattastic statistic:
- Eggs
- Cheese
- Bacon (a highly approximate fat content, who knows if my 'Generic' MFP product is close, doesn't matter)
- Cooking my scrambled egg extravanganza in 100% Animal Fat
- Light Sour Cream in my chip-free 'nacho' mix (my only 'Light' product, I just prefer the taste)
- The beef mince used in my 'nacho' mix

I am comfortably full

If look back to my first couple of 'less fat, watch the calories' months on MFP it looks like two different people have been logging. I feel like a different person too.

Embrace the fat.

Calling it 'bad science' and 'fudged study results' is even an exaggeration, lol. More like a gross misinterpretation of an observational study (i.e., not a scientific study) that was cherry-picked for data to support personal beliefs not supported by science!
