How many grams of fat do you consume per day?

[Anonymous]

Generally 100-125g total fat, including 30-50g saturated fat. Works out to about 35% of caloric input per day.

I don't think anyone actually eats an entire serving when they state they eat it 3 times..Nut nutrition is listed in units of things like per cup . Hardly anyone eats 3 cups of nuts per day.

And most of the fat in nuts is mono or polyunsaturated fats anyway..

That's wayyyyyy too much saturated fat.

That's almost150- 250% DV.

A serving of nuts is 1 oz. Nowhere near a cup.

That's 900-1125 calories from fat and 2500-320 calories per day. You're either a bodybuilder or a troll. I'll go with the latter.

The former. I usually consume 2800-3200 calories a day.

I usually eat around 30 to 40 grams of fat per day when I'm trying to lose weight (1500 calories work out days, 1200 calories non-workout days).

I went and looked at my LoseIt app as I started tracking my food last month. My fat had huge spikes certain days so I investigated and it turns out that the app is really off on fat for some items. For instance, I had one piece of chocolate and it says this was 700 grams of fat for one piece—checking online, it should be only 8 grams per oiece!
I think if I ignore the weird days, it looks like about 50 grams per day.

In that case it makes sense but you really are an outlier. Especially for DCUM.

As an update, the fat tracking in LoseIt is total trash. I went back to a day it says I only had 12 grams of fat—I had pork dumplings, sushi,2% milk and a muffin and it said zero grams of fat for each of those!
Hope the calorie tracking is a little better.
