Well I had cottage cheese and some super fat concentrated soup from Safeway that in retrospect perhaps I should not have eaten given how much fat per serving it has and I ate the whole thing. (30gram per serving X six servings.) Been nice knowing you all.
180 grams of fat in a single meal!? And then the cottage cheese on top of that... yikes! That's truly scary. 1,800 calories is very nearly the whole daily calorie requirement for a normal person (2,000 per day for an 'average' size person of 150 pounds). Depending on how much cottage cheese you had it could easily have been a whole day's calories. And you didn't feel sick from eating this much? If you keep eating like that it certainly will affect your health in the long term.

Current recommendations are that we have only 30 percent of our total calories from fat, that would be 60 grams or 600 calories total in a day's food.
