Nutritional Plan Question

livers20 Posts: 220 Joined: 2004/05/13	2004/06/04, 01:54 PM I am trying to follow my nutritional plan which is as follows: Protein - 165g Carbohydrates - 413g Fats 31g Total Calories - 2564 Question is what type of Fat do I count on the Nutritional Data? I have read here that Fats from Peanuts are good. But the Total Fat is 14. That's almost my total daily fat intake. Thanks!!

Recent studies have shown that people with a moderate fat intake lose more weight than people with a lower fat intake. That is when the fat comes from nuts, seeds, olive oil, flax, fish, avocadoes. -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

This is my nutrition plan: protein- 180g. carb- 360g. fats- 29g calories-2398 My question is, if 2398 calories is the maximum, is the minimum 10% less than that? If I want to lose weight, is it better to consume my minimum? I haven't actually been able to build up to 2398 cal. yet. I haven't been hungry enough. I eat 6 times a day with an almost steady 1600 cal. This is tough work to change my life this way. I feel so much better since I switched my carbs to oats and fiber. My favorite meal is eggwhite fried without oil on whole-wheat toast, with tomato slices on top. -------------- In order to be irreplaceable, one must be different. Coco Chanel
