I didn't count but today I probably had 100-150 grams.  Been cooking all my meat in butter lately.  Breakfast was six eggs fried in butter, covered in melted cheese.  Also snacking on macadamia nuts throughout the day.

If you're taking in 300 grams of fat a day how many calories a day are you eating?

I usually eat about 150 grams of fat per day.

However, lately I try to keep it as low as possible (less then 25grams per day).

Mine varies dramatically from day to day - on training days it seems to be around 80-100 grams a day and then on weekends when I've got more tiem on my hands it tends to rise to as high as 150 gramsa a day. Trouble is, it's all being stored as fat on the weekends as I'm not actually doing anything physical.

it shouldnt be stored as fat.... unless your eating carbs with it... and if your not doing anything physcal you dont need to eat any carbs...maybe just a bit at breakfast...

Hmm...unfortunately I'm eating between 500-600 grams of carbs a day.  :-\

Mostly complex mind you but carbs nonetheless.

wow yeah definitely then going to fat.

try using zero fat carbs like.. white rice white bread dextrose vegetables fruits beans

and low fat proteins like...   egg whites chicken breast lean cuts of steak lean cuts of fish whey isolates whey concentrates


OR try cutting your carb intake back to zero (only veggies and trace carbs in nuts oils and stuff) and increasing fats a whole lot.

its possible to have a det with both carbs and fats, both need to be moderate, or you need to have a cyclical diet.

the moderate diet ... you would take your total energy calories per day (totasl carbs and fats) you normally eat...tally them all up, then divide it by two... and then eat that amount of calories of fats, and of carbs per day.

cyclical diet....    would be to only eat carbs before during and after working out... then eating fats the rest of the day...



generally speaking you either want to do protein/carb or protein/fat..   however=  protein/(1/2 carb)/(1/2 fat)...would be okay..

How am I ever supposed to gain quality muscular bodyweight then?  ???

I've been counting my calories since the beginning of the year on a daiy basis and I'm maintaining on between 4500-5000 calories a day from protein, carbs and fats. My prtein intake is around 30%, carbs at 60% and fats at 10%. If I take the carbs out my diet I'll only end up losing weight, right? I'm still trying to bulk up.

well i cant tell you with certainty any thing about what will happen from diet changes, as its your body and nto mine and it may react differently. however there are some things that will be true for everyone...

first off... you dont need the same amount of calories on a non-training day as you do on a training day.  it seems to me that the amount of food you eat is perfectly fine for te days you train, but what your saying is that the days you dont train, your eating a bit too much.  so, on those days, cut bak food intake to match accordingly with your reduced caloric output because your not in the gym.

secondly, cutting out carbs doesnt mean you will lose weight or even that you cant gain muscle at an optimal rate.  there is still the issue of calories, and as logn as your eating enough fats to power your body in the absence of those carbs, then youll still be able to build muscle. maybe even a bit better than a carb based diet (although this probably varies from person to person)
