Even when I was at around 50g net a day my fat grams were about 53%. One reason is because 1g carb only has around 4 calories while a fat gram has 9. Therefore it takes more then 2 carbs to make up the calories in 1g fat (scary when youthink of those carb loaded FF things with same calorie amounts.)

Be careful though you don't start eating high carb and high fat, the typical American Diet. If you are only having 20-25g net carbs a day, and you are making sure they are low GI carbs so you don't have an insulin reaction, then higher fat is fine. You need the energy from somewhere and since no carbs, it's fat. Just don't start eatinghigh GI or higher carb without adjusting your fat lower.
