I often find I have eaten only around 8% fat by bedtime, although I want 15%. If I am already at my calorie limit when I calculate this, what should I do? In the past, I have eaten up to 1,000 calories extra at bedtime to make up this deficit. This doesn't seem to effect my weight. My lean bulk continues to remain the same. After 6 weeks, I am still calculating my exact DCI/TDEE though, and it is probably between 3,000-5,500 per day. I generally shoot for 4,000 calories per day. But again, my body seems to adjust for whatever amount I eat, and I gain a pound per week. [BTW, I do have a high TDEE as I lift for 6 hours a day, although I do rest a ton between sets.]
BTW, what are foods that are high in fat but have no or little cholesterol and sodium and low in calories? Avocado? Almond butter? Tahini? Flax seed oil? Dairy products are bad since they will easily raise your cholesterol/sodium levels. I shoot for <200 mg cholesterol per day and <500-700 mg sodium. But I do eat animal meat and whey/casein protein.
Bonus question: what's wrong with just 8% fat macros per day, as long as I otherwise meet my calorie and protein requirements?
