Question

FAT calories...?

How many calories should come from fat every day? Whats the minimum percentage? Will having a higher percentage of fat calories than carbs and protein help out with quicker weight loss? or get me out of my stall?

Thanks!

Moon, please see this discussion about fat and calories and basic bio chemistry 101.

Fat should comprise the bulk of your calories - the exact number will depend on how many calories you are eating, but the percentages should be between 70% and 80%.

Bear in mind a "stall" is 6 weeks with no inches lost and no change in scale weight.
