That's an extremely low amount of fat, difficult or impossible to do if you plan to eat much meat. You do need some dietary fat too, as already pointed out. If you're willing to count calories anyway, I don't see the point of restricting fat to such low levels. It seems to me the whole point of counting fat grams was to give lazy people one easy number that they could fixate on.
You're really at the stage where you need to ramp up the cardio to keep the weight loss going. You can drop the calories fairly low during the week and bump them to maintenance or above once or twice a week, increasing as you get leaner. That's one of the little things you can do to appease your body as it starts getting pissed that your bodyfat is getting too low for its liking. But in terms of the big picture, you can't really fool it. Lift weights too.
