    Too Much Fat?

    So I haven't had any questions about my menu up until now because I've been confident that it's a good, balanced Atkins induction menu. But over the past two or three days, I've noticed my fat intake has increased quite a bit. To the point where it's about 70% of my calorie intake. I'm taking in a good number of carbs and proteins. So my question is: It is possible to eat TOO much fat on Atkins? Should I scale back? Or is 70% no big deal?

    Thanks.

      70% is fine.

          How much is that? How many calories are you eating, on average?

          As for the percentage, I agree with J... nothing wrong with 70% fat.

              Your ratios will change - some days fat will be higher, some days lower. I don't see a problem with 70% fat, as long as you are getting your veggies & following the rules. Good for you for noticing the trend & questioning it though

                  I'm usually eating around 1500-1800 calories. Sometimes more. And my net carbs are usually around 19-20. Today they're more like 17.

                  Thanks for the replies, everyone!

                      Sounds good to me. =) Fats become a close friend of mine.

                      You exercise at all?
