Hi girls!
I've been flunking on the diet a bit
I'm doing more than alright with 1500 calories, only two meals.
My problem is some days I go over the total amount of fat! More than 60 gr
Someone would like to share some tips to avoid this??
How do you handle lowering fat so much? I can't eat anything!!
Thanks

For what it's worth, I had a fairly high fat intake when I got my DD -- but very little of it was animal fat. I had a lot of olive oil, which supposedly is bluer, but it seems to be very specifically animal fats that do the boy swaying. Vegetable oils being above 60g would still be pinkish imo
Are you counting the "fat" in fruits and vegetables?? If you are, don't. those things are free for fat and protein - the fat and protein in them does not count towards your totals for the day.
99 times out of 100 that one little thing is what the issue is.
If not, could you tell me more about what you're eating??
I'm not counting fruit and veggie fat. I'm eating mainly vegetarian, but for example I do eat some dessert (brownie, chocolate soufflé), cheese sandwiches, pasta with cheese and tomato sauce or some creamy sauce, lots of potatoes (sometimes French fries [emoji33], I know I should cut them off!) some vegetarian Chinese take out, stir fry... I'm doing it all wrong right? [emoji24]
The thing is I'm eating small amounts so some days I'm over to 70 gr of fat, but not more than that, and no animal fat. I had chicken maybe twice since I started and one hamburguer once.
No ice cream, no chocolate, no red meat, and I'm around 1200 cal per day..
any advice?
Should I cut the trashy food? Like take outs?? Or less cheese??
Thanks!!!!

I am really at a loss as to how you're eating 70 g of fat a day on 1200 calories. I think you're adding something up wrong. 70 g of fat = 630 calories from fat. That is more than half of what you're eating every day! (I hope you're filling up on fruit and veg too!!)
If you really are getting 630 calories from fat then you have to make different choices with your foods. It is ok now and then but day in and day out I do think you'd be better off making some different choices, if for no other reason than a 1200 calorie diet with barely any carbs in it will be terrible for your fertility.
I'm eating between 1200-1500 cal, I did the math about it
According to fitness pal, this week in average (remember I went to Disney World 🤣, had lots of fun BTW)
1327 cal/day
Proteins 48 gr/day
Carbs + sugar (don't know why they put it separately, they are still carbs) 165 gr/day
Fat 59 gr/day
This was ONLY this week, back home I been eating 49 gr/day of fat average in a week.
I'm analyzing this too much? Don't wanna go crazy here!

My Fitness Pal is super unreliable. They WiLL count the fat and protein in fruit and veg so I suspect you actually got much less than that.
Weeks you go to Disney World do not count, of course! So YES you are analyzing it too much if this was just a weird week from the Disney trip.
This puts you at 192 calories from protein
660 cals from carbs
531 cals from fat.
If you were getting 59 grams of fat a day that is within LE Diet limits anyway.
Thanks atomic, it's the easiest app I found to track mi foods, is there any other that is better?

I used a very special low tech app called "paper and pen" and I highly recommend that. :)
Seriously though, it's fine to use MFP, just don't completely believe everything it says.
