How much fat should we eat a day?
How much grams of fat should we be eating a day? And if you are trying to lose fat, should you still be eating the required amount a day?

Don't quote me on this, but I think it is 0.3g per pound of body weight.

I like to use 0.3 x lean mass as a minimum (with 6g of that being from fish oil capsules). But others suggest other amounts.

In terms of trying to lose fat - fat intake is VERY important in fat loss!! Omega-3 fats (fish oils) have actually been linked to lower BF% and better fatty acid oxidation. So they HELP you lose weight. They also help to keep you healthy whilst you are cutting.
Don't cut them out!

If there is no way you can take fish oils then flax would be fine. Originally Posted by gravitydrops
