Question regarding fat ratios....

I've been using FitDay to help track my protein/fat ratios.. some days my fat is up to 70%. Should I be shooting for a lower number or is this OK?

Hi Becky,

70% fat is exactly right! Most of us find we lose best with ratios of 65 to 75% fat, 20 to 30% protein and 5% carbs.

Now, repeat after me, fat is my friend.

Cheers.
