Is it better to count calories or count fat when trying to loose weight?

You need to count total calorie intake, and you should aim to have less than 30% of your calories come from fat. You will lose weight if you eat 1500 calories on average, regardless of how much fat you eat. What the body cares about is the bottom line, not so much where they came from. Elephants eat a nearly no fat diet, and all vegetarian at that- and they still get to be rather large. And when it comes to fat, all fat is not equal,keep that in mind. You want fats from plant sources, primarily- not animal sources. But you do need fat, for the body to obtain fat soluble vitamins that it needs, and the ability to use them. Make sure your diet has plenty of variety, and be sure to include fruits, whole grains, and the occasional treat. A nibble of something naughty is far better planned in than surviving a gobble and burp that happens when you break down. The idea is not to feel completely deprived, or to call any food totally off limits. That's the fast track to failing. No bad foods, just foods to eat less of, less often. But plan them in all the same. Good luck with the effort, and count the calories first. Then look at the fat.
