rosewhole30 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I am having trouble understanding if I am consuming to many nuts. In the best fat sources category on the whole 30 plan, the second item is cashews, but then in the limit section it says nuts and seeds. My questions are: Can I have a handful of nuts everyday? Are cashews better therefore I can have a handful everyday? If not, the only other fat sources I can think of are avocado (I would be eating one whole one a day if I'm adding to every meal) and oils, ghee...etc. I am not really sure how to incorporate coconut milk unless it's a soup... which I don't do often.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted October 22, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2015 A small handful of nuts every day is probably the upper limit of how many nuts you should have. A whole avocado a day is okay -- the recommended serving size in the meal template is 1/2 to a whole one for a meal. Olives are a good fat source. You can make dips and dressings, like mayo and mayo based dressings, or things like chimichurri or Whole30-fied pesto sauce that you can drizzle over meats or vegetables. Coconut milk can be used in curries or added to coffee. You can also use coconut flakes -- they're good toasted and added on top of vegetables or salads. You can also purposely seek out fattier cuts of meat, or occasionally look for high quality bacon for a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
