I remember that I read an article written by Dean Ornish and his wife. The average fat consumption was given as about 30% but I do not know where they got the numbers from.
I think there was some mention of this in Dr. Doug's 811 book. I know that gourmet raw foodist can average upwards of 70% fat, so I'm guessing that a typical SADder would be around 40-50%.
Try typing into a nutritional calculator what you remember eating in your past life, or what you see others consuming around you. Could even delegate to some friends to track their intakes for you.
Out of curiosity I typed in a typical day for me when I was eating vegetarian SAD (tons of bread, cheese, eggs, veggie meats, and a handful of veggies here or there). Gross! It looks like I was eating between 40-50% fat, probably more on some days. It's funny to think how, at the time, I believed I was making healthy choices, and was really confused why I couldn't seem to lose weight.
Yep, nothing like hard numbers for a wake up call!
