How much fat is too much fat? (80 10 10)

Ive been into raw foods for over a year now, but just recently discovered the 80 10 10 diet. As of now i find a salad simply unpalatable if i dont drizzle a little bit of olive oil in it (just 1-2 tbspns), and since im eating fruit all day, the last thing i want is to eat something sweet in my salad.

also, i eat an avocado on its own, maybe 3-5 times a week,and maybe some mixed seeds 1-2 times a week (sesame, flax, chia etc)

is that too much fat?

sounds perfect! also remember to focus on perfect fats like hemp seeds and hemp oil. avocados are awesome too! sometimes i do 50/50 olive oil and either flax or hemp oil on my salads! you are doing a great job!

I assume you're asking "is that too much fat if i want my ratios to be 80/10/10"? and not just opinions on "too much fat" without a reference of waht you're shooting for.

we don't have the amounts you're eating or the total calories, so it would be impossible for us to state whether your calories from fat average out to 10% or less of your total calories.

it would be dangerous if you eat less than 30 percent fat on the long or even the short run unless you are an athelete

based on what? Many Asians eat at lower levels of fat and exceed Westerners routinely. Fat cause insulin resistance at higher levels. 30 percent is an upper bound if that,not a lower one.

Yeah, what's that about? 30% is higher in fat than I would recommend. "Dangerous" how? lol

Why "unless" one is an athlete, Duke? If you are arguing for higher dietary fat, surely an athlete would require more fat, as with the other two macronutrients?
