Every woman is different. That would depend on the diet she's using to cut, her metabolism, her body type etc.. No one will say the same thing. It's still a calorie issue also. If you posted the diet she's on we could better inform you.

I agree with Detour there isn't a specific number, it really depends on her goals, current body fat, training regimen...
typically most reduce their carbs as they get closer to comp day...
Is she carb cycling ? if she's doing a higher carb diet overall, (based on carb cycling), if doing this she will be able to keep fats her diet, just needs to know how much & when based on her low, med or high days.

If she hs been doing a low carb diet throughout, she still needs fat since it will be used as her main source of energy..

As far as which are "good fats" she can have Omega 3's, flaxseeds, avocados, olive oil, hazelnut, cashews, almonds.

The best thing for her would be to hire a nutritional coach that has experience with contenst prep diets.

Good luck to her !
