[QUOTE="zand, post: 1512182, member: 85197"] Because my body is fine with fat but not with carbs. Calories do matter up to a point, but for a T2 diabetic it's where those calories come from that is important. I try to have at least 100g fat per day and less than 50g carbs and less than 50g protein. I don't always manage to keep the protein that low, but that's my target. I have no upper limit on my fat intake thought don't usually feel hungry enough to need much more than 100g. I occasionally do a fat fast (eating mostly fat and not much else) just to drop a few pounds more quickly. [/QUOTE]
