so I have bought products that are low fat or 0% fat and not meeting my fat goals. realized that I will probably have to buy reg fat greek yogurt/cheese etc now. does everyone else eat reg fat products?
I am snowed in my driveway so i shoveled snow for like 1hr and it says over 300cals which seems high lol
lol random thoughts.
I like fats, they make things taste so good. I aim for fats from ghee, coconut oil, avocado, nuts/nut butter.
I think that burn sounds right.0 -
I tend to not eat too many low fat items. I'm focused on counting calories mainly. Good luck!!0

What do you prefer to buy:
whole milk vs 2%?
regular cheese vs 2%?
regular mayo vs lite version?
reg ranch vs lite version?
Ground beef 72% vs 90%?
Fat free (I drink a bunch).
Regular, usually.
Mustard.
Make my own dressing in small amounts (per meal) - usually vinaigrette, sometimes yogurt-based or other.

Cold milled flax seed is fantastic source of healthy fat (omega 3) and tastes good too- kind of like ground walnuts. I sprinkle it on fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, or add it to smoothies. Just don't cook the flax with your food or it will ruin the health benefits.
I generally eat foods that are naturally low in fat like plant based meals, and use low fat cooking methods. Then I can deliberately add fat from healthy/yummy sources to reach my fat total for the day.
I do the same with sugars- avoid "hidden" sugars in overly processed foods so I have plenty of sugar grams to enjoy as I chose. It's nice to eat something rich & decadent without exceeding daily goals!0 -

Ground beef 72% vs 90%?
1% milk
Regular cheese (2% processed cheese slices that I use maybe once a week)
Light mayo (don't use it much)
I don't like bottled dressings
Ground beef I like 90% the best but can't always find it... Might go for 85% more than 93% though. It's less dry, tastier, and more filling (and cheaper).0 -

If you like avocados they are a good source of fat and fiber.
i have never had an avocado lol i know u can make guacamole with them though. what else can u do with them or add them too?
You can cut them up in salads, put them on sandwiches, my co-worker just eats them straight as part of his lunch.
Yup, me too! Cut up on the plate with a little salt and pepper. Yum! (Unless it is over ripe or under ripe - then ick!)0 -
