recommended fat calories per day

[Guest guest]

In Dr. Fife's book Coconut Oil Miracle it is stated that various health

organizations recommend we get 30% of our daily calories from fat and

only 12% from protein. Am I reading that right? I'm new to the coconut

oil regimen and am very excited about it. Thank you.

I am diabetic so I eat minimal carbs. I suspect I get more than 30%

of my calories from fat because I keep my carbs so low.

Last spring, when I was leaning out by counting calories on fitday.com, I was

probably eating more carbs than you (80-120 grams per day), and fat was making

up 50-60% of my caloric intake. I bet if you were to track your diet on fitday

for a couple days, you'd find that fat makes up more than 60% of your diet.
