I am cutting down, doing alot of cardio and trying to eat healthy.
I would just like to know a precise amount of grams of fat per day I should be eating and what is too little, and what is too much.
The main source of my fats would probably be from milk (skim or 1%), cheese, and sauces that sometimes are put on certian foods.
I currently weigh 168-170 pounds.
So could someone give me a good amount of grams of fat per day I should be eating in order to lose weight (I do cardio 3 - 4 times a week, about 30-60 minutes after waking up and I usually eat something with carbs, say a bagel, before doing cardio)
any input would be great. Thanks guys

I would try to keep it around 50-60g if you are trying to cut...
and for gods sake!!!
you can not eat a bagel every morning on a cutting diet...
Try an eggwhite omlette or something!!

you can eat a bagel no problems if it fits in your cal requirements.
50grams of fat is fine also since you don't want your T levels to drop.

I eat them every once in a while.. probably twice a month.. not not when cutting.. make sure it is while wheat at least!!
and about the fat...
I tried a diet under 50 grams of fat once and it was horrible... no energy at all..
50 grams of good fat is not bad..

although a bagel has a lot of carbs, it isn't going to destroy your cut or make you fat. If you are under maintenance you will lose weight, simple as that.
Keep your fats limited to healthy fats - w-3/w-6
They should be atleast 30% of your total cals.I love SQUATS like a fat kid love cake.

Excuse what I said. Depeding on the person, 50-60 could be ok for a person's total fat calories, although 50-60 still seems a bit high to me...50-60g of fat while cutting? are you kidding me?
but have good fats from fish, peanuts, and the type; definitely watch out for saturated fats.
