Posted in another topic area but really need an answer so, Okay i have a question. Might be a dumb question but I have recently started taking the acne medication Accutane and I have read it is best absorbed with a fatty meal. I typically eat I would say between 1200- 1500 calories a day and exercise 6 xs per week. But i eat low fat. Probably less than like 30 grams per day.
Now if i continue to eat the same number of calories and continue to exercise the same but increase my fat grams to say 45 grams per day will this cause me to gain weight?
My usual weight loss menu is a Slimfast - 6 g
Fruit - 0 g
Slimfast - 6 g
Fruit - 0
Salad -0 g
Chicken - 3-4 g
Cheese - 5 g
Dressing - 2 g
Croutons - 3 g
Olives - 2 g
25 grams of fat per day per day.
Here's what i had today:
Slimfast - 6 g
Banana - 1 g
Almonds - 8 g
Slimfast - 6 g
Fruit - 0g
Salad - 0 g
Chicken - 3 g
Cheese (more than usual) - 9 g
Olives -( more than usual)4 g
Dressing - 4 g
That makes 41 grams. Can I still lose weight if i up my fat grams but keep calories low. I really want this medicine to work but also do not want to gain weight.
Eating more fat, but keeping the same amount of calories will not make you fat or gain weight. It really is calories in/calories out.
You might find yourself more full with the extra fat calories, which is a nice bonus.
Please help
