really high fat intake...?

alright.... so for the past 7 days, i've had 60-100g of fat per day... for a daily average of 45.8% of my caloric intake coming from fat each day. i realize that this is reallyreally high compared to most... i'm still losing weight and getting B's and up on my daily food grades...  i still don't go over my caloric intake, but an awful lot come from fat calories...

basically, i'm just asking if this is really bad -- and if i'm not going to be losing FAT if i'm eating so much of it...?

thank youuu.

Is it "good fat" or "bad fat"? Does it come from healthy sources or chips and cookies?

Fat from food does NOT turn into fat in your body, so no, eating more fat does not necessarily mean you will gain fat.

However, how much protein are you eating? 

thanks for the quick response. 

eh, i don't think most of it's "good fat." none of it is coming from chips and cookies and stuff. peanut butter is probably the only "good fat" i have. the other stuff comes from cheese/mayo/random stuff. i have bacon a few times a week.

um, i'm only getting an average of like, 70 grams... (17%)....... which i know isn't as high as it probably should be?

i'm not exactly sure what constitutes good fat vs. bad fat, though, really. i don't know. researching that would probably help me, i'll have to do that this weekend.

Basically, the "bad" fat is saturated fat.  As a general rule, saturated fat is in the meat products, not much in plant sources.  Lean meats will have a little sat fat, but not much.  That's why they say to focus on lean meats--lower sat fat.

so i should just really worry about saturated fats? (and trans, right?)

You've got it!!! Just remember that all fats count as 9 calories per gram toward your daily total.

yeah... i try to avoid trans fats all together... and cut out as much saturated fat as well... if you read the labels on things whenever it has some sort of  "hydrogenated" oil listed in the ingredients, it has saturated fats, and most likely, trace amounts of trans fats, even if its listed as 0g (I believe if it has less than 0.5g trans fats per serving, they can label it as 0g. The closer to the top of the list the hydrogenated oil is listed, the more that food has in it.

Hydrogentaed or partially hydrogenated on the label should be avoided completely. Even though it is less that .5 gram it is not acceptable. The point being is the serving amout that has it is usually far less than anyone would use. So if there is .4 gram in a serving and you use a normal amount of usually 3 to 4 times that much it makes as much as 1.6 grams real fats. Even .1 is to much. Would you put a half teaspoon of motor oil on your salad just because it wont hurt you but moistens the salad? Of course not so why allow a little of any "poison" into your system?
