I think low fat is considered 30% of calories or less from fat. So once you have established your optimum calorie intake for weight loss, then you can find out how many fat grams you can have per day.

There are a few websites, and of course books that have great nutritional information. I keep track daily and try to write everything down and plan ahead.

I am currently eating approx 1500 cals, so I limit myself to 50 fat grams or 30% of 1500 (each fat gram has approximately 10 cals...so that equals about 500 cals from fat or about 1/3 of calorie intake).

I know you can go lower, maybe about 20%, but you should never go below 10% or 1200 cals since this can be detrimental to your body and your metabolism in the long run.

Curious to see what others are doing!

I eat up to 10G a day, and no higher, except on a RARE occasion. I love the uncle Ben noodle and rice bowls.... I now weigh 158... I have lost 92lbs... wooo hooo!!! lol

Alzym-Just wondering how many calories you average per day on the low fat diet.

Hi girls:
I need some help. Iam 48 yrs old and weight 162 (the higher weight in my life) I need to loose between 35 to 40 pounds. I have been on yo-yo diet for years without no luck except for one time I lost 10 pounds with ww. I have been thinking on going back to ww but I haven't get the time too busy. For the past 6 months I have been eating a very nice low fat breaksfast and for lunch I always eat a ww very low fat & low calories food. But I don't watch what I eat for dinner which is not bad food (home made dinner) but I don't follow fat intake for dinner. I know that I am suppose to eat no more that 1200 calories a day but I have no idea how much fat Iam suppose to eat the entire day. Can some one out there can tell me exactly how many fat I am suppose to have so that way I can try to figure it out at dinner time.
I am glad that I found this site. I hope that I get some nice info. from some of you. thank you so much. God bless.

i think 1200 is too low... try 1300 or 1400& i eat 35g daily.

hi guys,
im very bummed. its taken me 8 days to lose 1/2 pound and thats after counting every last calorie. the good news is i think i finally found the reason i cant lose. it looks like ive got wts. ive been taking my temp for almost a month& it is typically 96. ive got alot of the symptoms of hypothyroid too. i thought i had that last year.

im tired of feeling lousy from it. im calling my doc on mon. for an appt so i can try to convince her ive got wts cuz the 1 doc that treats wts near me doesnt take my ins.

does anyone know the calories in 1 sl of cicilian pizza with extra cheese& regular with extra cheese?
