calorie (he mentions it in the later USFA reference )...."advising you to consume less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fats."

Thx for clarification

no problem.

trivia from the same site - the brain is 60% fat.

sorry OP for going way off topic :-)

Interesting. I'm hoping to see more research done about this in the future.

@yankee00, one last thing in case you might be interested...

www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Egg_Yolk.html

this site has a nutritional breakdown of egg yolks and egg whites and advises several egg yolks a day and to discard the whites.

Haha! Got it :)

some more bed-time reading. this is a classic.

What if It's All Been a Big Fat Lie?

What would happen if you followed a low carb low fat diet?

What you mean like the traditional Chinese diet, before people started consuming copious amounts of rice and oil?

many high-protein foods are also high in fat. many cuts of meat and chicken with skin are probably 30-50% fat. guess you could do a low carb low fat diet, but then it would have to exclude certain foods. and i don't think i've seen anyone advocate that kind of diet, so not sure why you'd want to do it. the controversy is carbs vs fat.
