I'm slightly addicted to almonds! I love the good fat that is offers as well as all of the other healthy benefits! I agree with eating fat to lose fat!! Maybe not so much Mc Donald fatty saltty french fries!!!0

I'm not afraid and it's not all "good" fat either. I'd rather have a little bit of something "bad," satisfy my craving and move on. Much better than a binge later on.
BTW, the same thing applies for alcohol. I'd rather hang with my friends, have a good time, and consume a few adult beverages than to live my last day on earth wishing I'd enjoyed life a little more and wasn't so controlled about everything. I got that from my dad - you live once. Make wise choices, but enjoy your life!
Plus, this is why I think we have days off from work or school - a little extra workout time to compensate for our fun.0 -
I'm not afraid of good fats...and by that I mean animal fats, fish oils, butter, ghee, coconut oil, MCT, and olive oil!
I start my day with fat - bulletproof coffee with butter and MCT.0 -

Exactly!!! This is why I don't usually "eat back" my exercise calories during the week, I bank them so I can imbibe and not go over my weekly goals. It seems to be working as I'm steadily losing.0 -
Bring it on. I'll eat a cheeseburger that fits my calorie budget before I'll drink a Coke or even eat a granola bar that's made with high fructose corn syrup. Throw out all this processed crap and give me back my home's home cooking.0

I love a nice steak with great marbling! Definitely a fatty steak but it's so good!
I don't manage to get a lot of fat in my diet everyday though... probably just over 1/2 my suggested intake each day but I often try to hit 25% in as per my macros.0 -
I'm not afraid of fat. It's what makes food taste good IMO. But, it is one of the things I keep close tabs on because I tend to eat way too much.0

Any day I hit 200g is a good day. I'll have excellent energy for 2-3 days after.0

Totally not afraid of fat. In fact, while typing this, I am drinking a cup of coffee with a full ounce of heavy whipping cream. I love fat and do absolutely noting to avoid it. If anything, I seek it out. My macro split is 50/25/25 fat/protein/carbs.0

macronutrient ratios are for non-newbies anyway.. if the fat comes with something healthy, just eat it..0

mmmmm avocados.0

Fear not the fat.0

I aim for 40/30/30 carb/protein/fat, and do not avoid fat unless it is going to put me much over that.
That said, I'd rather eat light salad dressing, 0% fat yogurt, and baked vs. fried foods, because I love me some avocado, chocolate, and cheese, and would rather go all out on that stuff that I love0 -
FFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! Love it.0

I'm not scared of fat, carbs, or just food in general. Why would I be..lol. *nom nom nom*0
-
I dunno how healthy it is for me ... But I LOVES me a good Prime or Choice Ribeye or KC Strip ... and it's that beautiful marbled fat that makes it SOOO delicious ... so scared no ... I guess I worship it0

Dietary fat does not make you fat. Excess calories (energy) makes you fat.0
-
I eat fat, green and colored veggies, meat. Carbohydrates? Not so much THEY spike my blood sugars. :frown:0
-
I am scared of NO macronutrient0

Not afraid of fat at all, aside getting too much of it. Eating a moderate amount of fat is good for you, and aside from transfats, no fat is really unhealthy unless overconsumed.0
