right now i am consuming 60g fat, 54g carbs, 264g protein. i am thinking about adding more fat to my cutting diet but i dont want to add too much. my fats are coming from egg yolks, natural peanut butter and shart cheddar cheese, lean ground meat, tuna and chicken breast. i just started my diet oct 10 so its not too late to change it.

I'd up the fat as well as the carbs. I'd watch the egg yolks and cheese. Also, go easy on the ground beef. You might want to get some flax oil and add that to your diet.

how much fat you eat is less important than how much protein and carbs you eat and your total # of calories-don't worry about fat

wait but im on a cutting cycle that is why my carbs are so low. arent you supposed to up your fat intake when you lower your carbs?

yes-atkins and dipasquale are fans of eating higher fat and lower carbs
