A bit confused about "moderate fat" intake
As I posted in the daily thread, I have been reading Laura Richard's book, and am learning about "hidden carbs" in my food. I also keep reading that PP is more of a moderate fat plan, yet the book does not give any specifics as to how much fat to eat. On a daily basis, my intake is about 70 percent fat, 23 percent protein, and 6 percent carbs, and my calories average about 2000-2400. To me, that is more of a high fat intake, and I have been told it is more of an Atkins ratio than PP. I do get my minumum of protein in - usually 100-130 gms a day. What percentage should I be at in terms of fat intake?
