So what's the point of "calories from fat" on

>>39242814
Yes, low fat is the marketing Jew.
They want to trick you into thinking you are buying healthy food and keep you dependent on their shite.

>>39242814

Yep.

Amerifats are fat because of added sugar in every goddamn thing.

>inb4 hurr durr I ate a piece of fruit and I'm not fat

Because math is hard and people can't manage to multiply an integer by 9 without getting a calculator.

For what it's worth to you it has it's uses, namely getting around the FDA's stupid 'rounding rules', which is why everything is an integer instead of there being a decimal. Divide the 'calories from fat' by 9 and you'll get a more accurate figure for grams of fat total. Of course this is only useful if you're keeping track of macros.

Rounding rules? What is this meme

Fuck off we all know its skim milk

Pushing the "dietary fat is bad" agenda caused the trend of decreasing testosterone in males.

Not sure if it was deliberate, but it is what it is.

Don't slack on your fats.

> 15g of protein

> 10g

4mg of sodium per calorie
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

You ask normies how many calories are in a gram of fat, protein, and carbs, and they'll look at you like "doesn't canola oil have cholesterol?"

Wisdom is pain

>>39242814
Because fat content is a good indicator of how calorie dense a food is (9 cals per gram vs 4). It's not about fat being good or bad.

>>39242814
More importantly, why is calories from fat listed but not calories from sugar?

Basically bullshit politics.

I'm always short on my daily fat intake on MFP

Any recommendations? Thinking of just adding X amount of almonds until hitting my goal.

Ground flax seeds, I guess add a 1/4 cup here and there.

add butter to rice or any meats.
coconut oil is flavorless, you could mix that into a shake, coffee, or smoothie.

???

>>39242814
its because of the sugar lobbyists

>>39245805
Food that's >just fats. No, coconut oil isn't healthy, neither is canola, olive, whatever. Those diets you read about like the Mediterranean one are healthy despite this bullshit. You wanna know what I use coconut oil for? Frying, which I barely do. Then I throw it out. Eat fats that don't give you any other macros or micros is fucking retarded. And don't "use healthy oils like olive to fry", that shit turns carcinogenic.

Maybe because high fat meals are not healthy, despite your seeming emotional attachment to the contrary?

It's trivial to avoid refined carbohydrates by glancing at the ingredients. A mongolism patient can shit out a better argument than you, if you're attempting to justify guzzling grease since some equally shitty sugary options happen to be available.

To let you know if you've got a calorie bomb due to fat or sugar.

I think most pastries are the latter where as deep fried meats (fried chicken, chicken fried steak, crispy corn dogs) and cured meats would be the former.

For raw meat you can just cut off the fat, eat just the lean, and simply enjoy those lean calories. However, pastries need fat and sugar for the creaming process.

But it's still a jew marketing scheme.
It much easier and in every way more indicative of how calorie dense the food is to do a bread flip.
