Good fats and daily allotment

ssminnow Posts: 284 Joined: 2004/02/16	2007/06/06, 10:01 PM So my nutrition plan says I should be getting about 31g of fat/day plus or minus 5g. My question is (and its probably obvious but I wanted to be sure) do good fats count towards this? I take Muscle Milk and although I have read that these fats are rarely stored and mostly burned for energy, there are 18g of fat in one shake. If I have two ounces of almonds (28 almonds roughly) that is 14g of fat. Again, I heard there is good fat in almonds and they are a good snack. Right there I have met my daily allotment and havent eaten breakfast lunch or dinner nor any in between snacks. Can someone clarify for me? Thanks in advance!

You could in fact concioulsy avoid Omega 6's for a year and probably still not be deficient. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
