I looked for an answer somewhere but didn’t find… What is the science on how best to break out daily fat intake?
A day for me may find:
Total Fat
121.2 grams
1,088 calories
69% of total consumed
Saturated 52 grams, 450 calories (30%),
Polyunsaturated 12g, 115c (7%) ,
Monounsaturated 42g, 382 c (24%)
How should these numbers look?
Great Post
Actually, this made look at mine now
I’ll look at my pattern
I , like many, get high fat
But, my mOno fats are way low? At least at 1st glance
Wow
Im interested on this
Thanks
Hey Pete- good post!
I think I recall reading something about the importance of monounsaturated over polyunsaturated fats in the Phinney and Volek book “low carbohydrate living”. Don’t recall if they talk about specific ratios; and what they said about amounts of saturated fats.
I might look it up for you- if I can get some time freed up. Maybe someone else has this or knows about this from another source.

Your numbers are fantastic! This is the rest of mine, kinda close:
Carbohydrate
16.6 grams
64 calories
4%
Dietary Fiber 2.3 g
Protein
97.6 grams
415 calories
26%
From experience i found that the high fat content is important. When i did this in the past not really knowing what i was doing i ate more protein and less fat. After a couple months i noticed short term memory loss. It was scary. I consulted some zero carb guru’s and they explains the need for high fat. Body converts it to needed carbs for brain function amongst other. This time i upped the fat and voila, no issues and better weight loss.
