Foods with fat content I invariably eat fish, fruit, veg, nuts alone, all with good fat content. Occasionally I have chocolate. Other than that I don't eat saturated fat...
I consume about 80 to 100 grams of unsaturated (good)fat. My profile nutrition says 35 grams only. I can change my diet accordingly. But that would mean I could only eat 1 portion of fish or 2 if I eat no other fats per day.
But I thought 'good' fats could be eaten as you like it- Can I keep eating 80g or should this be kept in check also?

I think if you are within your calorie amount, the good fats you eat are okay.

If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

If you have no diet concerns, you may want to opt for 1/3 of your bodyweight in poly and mono fats. Try to get a 3:1 ratio of Omega 3 to 6 if you can, good for the athlete. At the very worst, try to get 1:1.
