Need help! Too much daily fat intake???

For the last two weeks I've consistently ate too much fat.  Even with a deficit, will this cause me to just maintain my weight?  Will this make it harder for me to lose a pound?  For example:  Fat - 42.4% (52 grams), Protein - 12.8% (35 grams), Carbohydrates - 44.7% (122 grams).

My weight hasn't budge.  I'm wondering if this could be one of the reasons why?  Need advice, if anyone knows please advise.    

The problem is that you are not eating enough calories. If you do the math (each fat gram has 9 calories, while protein and carbs have 4) you are only eating 1096 calories, which is too low for anyone, unless you are a midget.

What are your stats (height, weight, age, gender) and activity level (mostly sedentary, walk every day, do sports, etc)? We can help get you the right number of calories to lose weight. :)

That percentage is from today.  We're eating hamburgers for dinner and I went ahead and calculated the meal in for tonight.

Right now I'm at 142 lbs., 4'9, and I jog 3 miles three times a week.  I am eating at 1200 calories per day no more no less.   

I just want to know if having too much fat in my diet will stall my weightloss. 

As long as you eat enough protein to sustain your muscles (35g is not enough) at least 20-30% of your daily intake from fat, and enough overall calories, your weight loss should be steady.

1200 calories is not enough. At the rate you are going, your body will merely eat away your muscle tissue. Your metabolism will slow (the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism) and you will gain fat more easily. You may end up looking more flabby than when you first started restricting.

I plugged your stats into the calculators here, and it says you burn 1700 calories on sedentary days (meaning if you laid in bed every day and ate 1700 calories, you would stay the same weight). That is not including exercise. So eat more to fuel your body, and I guarantee you will see better results.

I don't think it will stall weightloss, but I do think it will be very difficult to maintain, considering you only have 12% protein. Proteins are what keep me full and satisfied and energized. When I get too much fat, I tend to feel sluggish. I know I can maintain my "diet" because I am totally happy with what I eat and feel healthy and like I can maintain it forever.  

If you are happy with what you eat and feel like it gives you optimal energy and you love it, and it's what works for you, stick with it. Assuming of course you are getting those fats from healthy sources like nuts and vegetable oils and don't have an issue with saturated fats, trans fats, or cholesterol. Those are health risks, regardless of weight-loss.

Thank you both for your input.  Muttlover, I totally agree with you on the flabby part.  I've read quite a lot of other peoples forum about increasing your calories.  I ate 1300 to 1400 for about a 1 1/2 hoping that it would change things.  I didn't gain or lose from that so I tried zig zagging instead which made me lose some.  I do have cheat days once a week too so I think I'll be fine.         

I normally take 32g of fat, 200g of carbs, 95 g of proteins, and 30 g of fiber. Is it good enough or do i need to add something else?any suggestions?

buddymay, did you mean to write 5'9 for your height (is 4'9 an error)?  i'm asking bec your goal weight is 120 and your face looks thin in the photo.

There is a huge debate about protein out there, who knows who is really right.  However, I use the average to figure out the necessary protein and that is 9 gms for every 20 lbs of weight so 142/20=7.1*9= 63.9.  This is for a moderate level, so if you use weights more protein.  So let's just use 60 grams since you are loosing weight now anyway.

60 * 4 (calories in protein) =240 calories from protein and is 20% on a 1200 calorie a day diet.  I personally like to keep my fats around 25% give or take a little so 1200 * 25% is 300 calories from fat (30-40 grams a day) the rest goes to carbs.  Some people need more protein to help keep full longer or build more lean muscle, so move the numbers around a little till you find what works for you.

Your fat is a little high and that means you won't have enough calories left in your daily allowance to enable you to eat enough other healthy things.

Balance is important for health, but people lose weight on those high fat, high protein diets all the time, so I don't think a high fat diet is going to affect your weight loss, unless you are eating more calories than you burn.  A calorie is a calorie. 

But do try to replace those fats with lots more vegetables and fruits for the sake of your good health.  And do some reading about fats - you want to decrease the saturated and trans fats and increase the good fats.
