How many grams of fat per day?
I searched the forum and all over the internet and keep getting so many different answers. So I figured I would post here.
Right now, I just have a small amount of fat left on my lower stomach, maybe 1 pound. Been working out for a month or so and its gotten to 1 pound from about 3-4 pounds. Iv been eating about 40-50g of fat per day. I wiegh aprox. 130 pounds and am 5' 10''. Im trying to loose this small amount of fat faster, so how do I do this. Should I cut my grams of fat even more? I don't want to get skinnier, just loose the fat. I run about 1 mile a day, recently. Also I wieght train for about 35-50 min 4 times a week with the running I also eat lots of fruit, cheeses, roast beef, steak and other green vegies. I recently have been taking Muscle Milk.
So my real question is. Should I cut my fat grams intake. Idk, I just wanna loose this stomach fat fast, going to Florida in a few weeks, wanna look cut.
haha,
thanks.
I just need to correct you.
Saturated fats are good!
Saturated fat contains medium chain triglycerides and provides the body with a readily available source of energy.
Oleic acid, because it contains one double bond, is also referred to as mono-unsaturated. Fatty acids that have multiple double bonds, like linoleic acid in the first figure, are called polyunsaturated.
Because poly-unsaturated fat is solid at room temperature, it is hydrogenated so that it will remain liquid at room temperature. That is, you saturate it with hydrogen by breaking the carbon double bonds and attaching hydrogen.
[QUOTE=sureshk;302139731]Remember guys, there are different types of fat:
Saturated fats (bad)
Poly-unsaturated (good)
Mono-unsaturated (good)
As a general rule, stay away from Saturated fats (e.g. pre-cooked burgers, fast food), and eat good fats (e.g. fatty fish - Omega 3s, for example, Salmon, Mackarel).
Most people advocate 40/40/20 splits - 20% of calories from fat.[/QUOTE]
