Just started keeping up with foods I eat on fit day. I am doing okay calorie wise but.....I am worried about the amount of fat! Should I worry? I know that on the SB you really don't worry so much about fat but I wanted to be sure and keep my calories in check. I am thinking the 30 g a day thing and yesterday (first full day of fit day food log) I was over 30g of fat.

What percent of calories is that for you? Where is your fat coming from?

When I started logging my stuff in fitday I was freaked out by the percentage of fat that was making up my food, but I realized that I wasn't eating hardly any carbohydrates on Phase 1, so of course the percentage of fat was going to be higher because the percentage of carbs was so low.

30g of fat is very low on any diet. 30g of fat is only greater than 30% of calories if you're only eating less than 900 calories a day!

30g of fat is pretty low! I think the mypyramid people say 65g is normal for a 2,000 calorie diet. You're not eating 1,000 calories right? Try not to worry. I think the intelligence behind SBD is that the "low fat, high carb" approach just does not work.

My calories were around 1300-1400 (i need to double check that) and fat 40ish%.

I try to keep my fat around 40-55g a day but am not religious by any means about it!

Ok I feel much better...I know the principals of SB but I think LF has been drilled in my head for too many years!

That would make your fat about 57g.

I just follow the menus in the book and don't worry about counting anything or how many grams I have of this or that.
