littlebird1227 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm worried about how much fat is okay to have at each meal. Sometimes I want to have half an avocado or coconut milk with my meal but I've already cooked my eggs or meat with fat and roasted or cooked my veggies with fat? How much fat is too much? I know they have portion sizes which seems to say I should not have the avocado or coconut milk so how do others do it? Raw vegetables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Use the guidelines in the meal template as a guide, and adjust for your own personal satiety. You want to create meals of protein, vegetables and fat that satiate you for 4-5 hours. You want to be pleasantly full, not overstuffed, at the end of each meal.Keep in mind that much of the cooking fat stays behind in the pan, so you'd need to adjust your fat to compensate.

jmcbn Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I cook my eggs in ghee and still have half an avocado with them. I roast my veggies in a mix of ghee & coconut oil and still often add a portion of olives to my plate. The fat is what staves of the cravings & keeps you satiated so I'd probably lean towards the large portion size - this way I don't feel the need to snack. Embrace the fat!
