A normal male needs 92 grams of fat per day, 92 grams is a hell of a lot of fat when you think normal foods have 8 grams of fat, you have to eat alot of food to get up to 92 grams.

Nidge, are we classed as normal or do we need to keep below that?

thanks m8

Even when bulking I never consume anywhere near that amount, probably 40-50 grams

The bodybuilding nutritional intake is usually

50% carbs
30% Protein
20% Fats

Mine is nearer

40% carbs
40% Protein
20% Fats

Bear in mind that this is calorie percentage and carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram and fats have 9 calories per gram
