Yet so many people make the assumption that a High Fat diet means blocks of lard for breakfast
As someone looking on, I find it hard to know what people mean , certainly I get the impression that many people who claim do eat high fat don't because their total calories aren't high .
Many years ago (admittedly before the high fat tag became popular, snapshots of some peoples diets on here were analysed for both macro and other nutrients, by a dietitian using her work related software. There was hardly anyone who actually ate more fat than the UK GDA for fat ( 75g men, 90g women). This thread has now disappeared as part of 'ancient history'
Two years ago one of the members (not a dietitian this time) did an exercise just looking at macro nutrients and again calories were on the whole low Fat though was probably higher than the earlier thread since the era of HFLC had arrived (but even then most would be within or just outside the GDA)

There is no doubt though that some people consider that high fat means exactly that. This high profile blogger claims that he even has to take it 'easy on the greens'
Here is a tweet from him.

There are also recently people who drink their fat as bullet proof coffee. which doesn't have a whole load of nutrients but does (apparently) fill people up.

The variation between peoples fat intake on here is probably quite wide, just as those of us who are labelled, usually by others ,as high carbers probably eat very varied amounts .
(Personally, I don't think I approach the GDA for carbs except when I'm doing a long distance walk and that's when I need more readily available fuel. At other times I eat fat fewer calories because I don't need that many And I don't eat low fat products normally either! )
