Fat is calorically dense. If you're trying to lose weight, you need to be careful about eating calorically dense foods. And if you want to eat more protein to maintain muscle while losing weight, there is a zero-sum trade-off between fat and protein.
- dham 2y agoInteresting archaic theory, as me and my wife just lost 40lbs each by eating a ton of fat and protein, haha. If you want to lose weight, stay away from sugar, for example carbs
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoHigh fat high protein (with low carbs) can definitely be successful, as long as you’re mindful of your approach and manage net calorie intake. But for lots of people it is easier to just eat what they do, but make minor tweaks to reduce the amount of fat as a way of reducing calories while still being satisfied by what they’re eating. Different ways for different people.

- notJim 2y agoThe ad hominem isn't necessary, counting calories is working great for me. Glad you found something that works for you.
- devit 2y agoWeight gain/loss depends on calories, so you can eat anything to either gain or lose weight as long as it's the proper quantity (although if you want to gain muscle then you also need enough proteins).
- nostrebored 2y agoYes, but fat also increases satiety. If you’re trying to lose weight, you should be eating meals, not snacks and adding fat. You will eat less both during a meal and after.

- notJim 2y agoNot sure what comment you're replying to, I didn't say anything about snacking or not eating fat.
