I thought fat was bad?

dwaynek Posts: 1 Joined: 2001/07/18	2001/07/19, 12:16 AM Hey, I always thought you should have low fat to build mass, but 96 grams a day is a lot of fat, and it doesnt really sound all that healthy, could someone please help me on this issue. Are their certain fats you should eat? Dwayne

They are essential amino acids, omega 3's. Foods with these are peanut butter, some fish, and protein bars to name a few.

Some/most fish and poultry have very little fat without the skin. When inputting them in your program, along with other food and supplements, they can add up. I have a hard time juggling the right amount in fat. I am either under or over the amounts recommended.
