too much fat??

[Mothercooter]

I know we arent supposed to be watching fat but is there such thing as too much fat on a low carb diet? I think I may have to modify my diet. On fitday I just noticed I had 238 g fat today! Havent even ate dinner yet! Should I be worried?

HAHAHA! NO WONDER! I accidentally put somethingin wrong! instead of a tablespoon of butter I had it down as a cup!!!


ok thats much better i think now its at 67 g fat.

percentages are

66% fat
2% carb
32% protein

I have noticed that my carbs are pretty low everyday. Even with my veggies. How else can I get those up? Would cutting some of the fat bring those up?

See, this is what I get for jumping on a post, I was like, that's almost 2150 calories so far today JUST in fat. :P

You can get up the carbs by lowering protein a little, so instead of putting another slice of chicken on the salad, put a little more salad on the salad.

Here's a sticky thread from the 14 Day Induction Forum about this

LOL don't worry about your carb totals in induction as long as you are eating your 3 cups of veggies and staying under 20 net you are fine. when you move to OWl after day 14 and add back 5 net of those yummy induction veggies you will be getting lots of micronutriants.

I find fat to be very self limiting. You just don't want that much. I've never heard of someone taking a sip of olive oil and then downing the whole bottle! I wouldn't worry about fat intake at all.
