I eat a lot of fat. I had 2200 calories today, and 60% of it was from fat. Most of it's the good stuff, with maybe a cheese stick or a piece of pork to make up the saturated bit, so is this unhealthy at all? My protein and carbs are fine, by the way.

Pork fat is actually 50% unsaturated, 50% saturated... not as bad as people think.
