Hey,
I've been a long time lurker on the forum.bodybuilding.com forums. According to their nutrition recommendations, the minimum amount of dietary fat per day for lean individuals is 0.4g/lb (total weight). They mention fat is needed for maintaining health, satiety, and sanity. Dietary fat also seems to help with libido.
I've seen a few people saying there's no harm going to pretty low levels of fat intake, but no one hasn't really specified (I'm new to the forums, so maybe I just haven't searched enough) any minimum numbers to shoot for. Is there a general consensus among the people on the peat diet about minimum fat intake? How low can I go? Can I go lower than 0.4g/lb (total weight)?
I know our bodies can make saturated fat from carbohydrates, does this mean one can go pretty low on fat if adequate carbs are consumed?
TL;DR: How low (in grams) can I go with dietary fat?
