Hi,

I’ve worked out that 30% of calorie intake that should be fats is about 155 cals a meal split over 3 meals. So far today is has only worked out that 94 cals contribute to fat intake so I have 2 questions.

1) if I’m not having 30% and having say 15-20% is that even better or does it make the Xencial not work and pointless taking? (The only reason it’s that low is that I’m scared of you know what’ing myself so I guess it’s worth taking just for that ??).

2) Is it so important that the fat intake is spread out evenly. I hear no more than 15grms per meal or 50grms a day. Does it matter when throughout the day I have it? What if as an example i has 10grms for breakfast, 15grms for lunch and 25 grms for dinner?

I am so sorry for the questions but I really really want this to work so I can start enjoying my life finally which I’m sure a lot of you get xx

      Hi lovely,

      After reading the forums on and off all day I’ve decided against them. I’ll just calorie count, keep an eye on fat consumption and exercise. Thanks for responding xx
