kellyp Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I am on day 16 and have been feeling really well most of the time. When I'm reading posts, I start getting a little confused about the fat. I know the template says thumb size portion for cooking. Then there is fat for eating such as avocados. If I use fat for cooking am I not supposed to have other fats with my meal? One day I think I have it right then other days I am questioning myself.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 16, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2013 You probably can't get all the fat you need from cooking oils, so it is important to add some avocado, olives, coconut, etc. some of the time. You don't have to add extra fat at every meal, however. Sometimes your meat has good fat content. These things average out over time. Focus most on preparing a tasty meal and things will probably be good over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melelina Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Wow...now I am even more confused. I thought we were supposed to add fat to every meal, at least one serving, maybe two. I have been making fat a priority at every meal. I have been eating way too much fat, methinks!

Kirsteen Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 There's a lot worse things you could be eating than good fats I cook with fats and quite often add them as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Christensen Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm not too worried about it nor do I fret about it. If I am having fattier meat I use a little less fat in my veggies and vice versa. If I might need to stay full longer, I eat more. And in the end, it all comes out in the wash I figure. It evens itself out. I doubt you're eating way too much fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleena Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 This has been a confusing issue for me as well but I'm starting to get the hang of it, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
