For the most part, high protein diets don't have a problem with fat consumption (in fact the diet--Zone, I think--recommended by Crossfit suggests 40% protein, 40% fat and 20% carb).

Body fat buildup usually comes from too much carb...not too much dietary fat.

And of course, exercise offsets a multitude of dietary sins.

I understand this. Not only did I not watch my fat, but my carb intake was higher than it should, due to a gastritis problem, and carbs were just easier on the tummy.

So now I’m back to carbs in the am, and dinners consisting of 3to 4 oz protein with a salad or veggie.
