Going over on fat!

noseovertail

Two avocados cause me to go over on my daily amount of fat. Since it's 'healthy fat', is it okay to eat more throughout the day? I had guacamole for lunch and had 2 avocados and I don't know if I can avoid any type of fat for dinner or a snack. I'll try, but I'm not sure if it's possible.

for me when it is avocado or EVOO i dont necessarily count it...now if i am eating 2 pieces of fried chicken (which i wouldnt do) then i would count it and be concerned. :bigsmile:

I've been waiting to see if anyone had an answer for you...poo. :grumble:

I'm pretty sure the fats you eat are SUPPOSED to be the "good fats"...so going over is going over. I know on days I go over on fats because of an avocado or almonds, I don't feel as bad for going over though!

noseovertall: I was over yesterday because I sliced an avocado in the afternoon with some lime juice & sea salt ( a favorite "hunger killer" for me). I have decided, as you have, not to worry too much IF that is why I am over my fat limit. I will just try today to stay within the fat limit. I will tell you that my HDL (good) cholesterol has always been VERY high and that my doctor is always thrilled with that. I think it is because of the "good" fat, like avocado... and lots of other fruits & vegies....SO....I would say, keep it up, within reason. We are all supposed to get more Omega 3 fat than we do in a typical western diet. Any nutritionists out there?????

I don't have an appointment with my doctor scheduled or I'd ask him his opinion. I wish a nutritionist would see this and answer for us
