Diet question
I'm a short guy trying to lose a little weight and I was wondering about how low I should keep saturated fat intake?
Difficult.
I would keep your Fats intake to about 20%-30%. If you do, I would try to keep 1/5 of that to Saturates.
Or you could just say, 1 gram Saturate, to 5 grams Unsaturate.
That might work. Remember that Fats are 9 calories per gram whether they're Saturate or Unsaturate, apart from the Saturates containing Nitrogen, which is the only major difference I know of.
