It just seems that the majority of the foods I eat are l/f of f/f, and that's been an ingrained habit for 10 years (since I first started to lose all the weight).

I started out that way, too. We've all been convinced that "if you don't eat fat, you won't get fat" or that eating fat will cause health/heart problems.
The trick with eating more fat is that it has more cals/g, so you don't have to eat as much to get the macro ratios to line up. And it helps you feel fuller faster. (And foods do taste better, too!
