AHA Recommendation. The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a dietary pattern that achieves 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fat. For example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 120 of them should come from saturated fats. Thatâs about 13 grams of saturated fats a day.
Generally speaking, you should be able to eat 50-100 grams per day of carbohydrates and lose weight. Maybe 100 on workout days and 50 on non workout days. Keep your carbs around your workout and have protein/fat meals the rest of the day.Hey. Now, i read A LOT about low carb diet.enerally speaking, you should be able to eat 50-100 grams per day of carbohydrates and lose weight. Maybe 100 on workout days and 50 on non workout days.

When changing your eating habits according to this diet, it may take some days before your body switches to the above mentioned state of ketosis. Therefore, you'll actually losing no weight during the first weeks. Choose the right food. Typical food during a ketogenic diet include: eggs, peanut butter, nuts, meat. On the other hand, high carb products like bread, pasta, rice have to be avoided. Peanut butter is popular among ketogenic dieters, but keep in mind only to eat pure peanut butter, not a whole sandwich (sandwich bread is pure carbs!).
