grams of fat dont matter. and niether do calories. its the quality of the food and sugar content. example-bread breaks down into sugar in your body much faster than other foods, and converts into fat cells faster than you can burn it off. stay away from sugary stuff. except fruit. natural sugar is healthy. 'google' GI = glycemis index, and it tells you which foods are below a certain number, which dont convert as fast. and dont forget to exercise. just staying active and on your feet is enough.

no less than 20% of the daily calories should be derived from healthy fats. one of the primary functions of dietary fats is there use in the construction of hormones. with less than 20% fats in the diet testosterone production can drop as much as 30-40% in women. with an already natural low test production women can't afford the loss of muscle mass and decrease in the metabolic rate
