Yeah the pent up energy from going to long between workouts is dangerous sometimes.

1 gram of fat contains more calories than say 1 gram of protein, etc, but that doesn't necessarily mean that eating fatty foods will lead to weight gain. Excess calories causes weight gain, so as long as you're not eating more than you should, you can still eat some fatty foods.
The danger is obvious though since fatty foods contain a lot of empty calories for the volume you receive, and therefore you end up eating more food in the end. Not to mention they are usually foods high on the glycemic index, which are notorious for weight gain because of the sharp rise in blood sugar they cause and due to them not being very filling over long periods.
I wouldn't avoid fats though, just make sure to eat the right kind. I eat a quarter to a half a cup of nuts everyday. They are loaded with fat, and therefore are high calorie. They are the essential fatty acids though (which have a shitload of benefits, both physical and mental), so it's not quite the same as the fat you will eat in junk food.
As long as you respect your calorie limit (there are formula's available to help you narrow it down), how many grams of fat or carbs you are ingesting should not be an issue. You should be more concerned with the type of fat and type of carb you're eating. Personally, I only count my calories and protein because it's linked directly with my goals in the gym.

Yeah ask the guy that has abs & doesn't even get any action.
Do you wanna shed some fat & then tone or build muscle & tone?

I wanna shed some fat, don't think I can build much more muscle than I already did, with my eating habbits. Just getting rid of the lower blubber would be good for me. Gonna start some morning cardio every second day(my off gym days) when my ankle heals up. About 45 minutes HIIT is the plan and some heavy bag work from time to time.
BTW, how do you folks feel about jumprope?
Exactly.

)Jump rope is a bloody good cardio workout but it depends if you have good hand/eye co-ordination & whether you can actually do it at a constant pace to work up a sweat.
