woah, isnt this TOO much fat??
still a beginning low carber ... doing the research and shopping... and noticed a few things.... and have a few questions!!
Is there an amount of fat that is TOO bad? I found some packaged chicken and beef patties today .... both have over 30 grams of protein and 0 carbs, however, the fat content in the burger was 29 grams!!! including 370 calories! NOW, I added a piece of cheese, 1 carb - but had no bun and no ketchup .. just fired normally in a pan.. and wa-la, was good ... but seemed as if I was consuming too much fat for my own good.
I scouted out some "theoretical" diet plans for a day .. steak, eggs, fried in butter, salads with real dressing, bacon, sausage, pork rinds .... I understand the ideals of the atkinds diet, however, my only concern is keeping/knowing a ballpark figure of how much fat is considered ( o-k ) in one day. I can keep the carbs to under 20-under, but the fat and calories just seems to be SO much....
HELP!
