? can I eat w/out fats

maurauder Posts: 1 Joined: 2003/05/24	2003/05/26, 04:36 PM After reviewing my daily intake for the first 3-4 days on the program, I 've realized the smallest things boost my fat intake. mY limit is 27g per day. This morning I had 3 slices of ham on bread and the ham was 32g of fat alone. It's mid-afternoon and I don't know what to eat in the kitchen without going through a guilt trip. please help!!!!! -------------- Start date: 5/24/03

Not trying to be smart, why not have cottage cheese and eggwhites for your protein source in the morning? for your lean meat proteins, opt for chicken breasts, turkey breasts, lean fish, tuna, eggwhites, etc. Ham is about as bad as it gets. -------------- As far as genetics go, the skies the limit.

You want to concentrate on monounsaturated fats and the omega-3 fatty acids. Good sources of fat are olive oil, flax oil, nuts, peanut butter. Check fatsforhealth.com for more info. I think the heavy fat restriction and massive carb allowance on this site is counterproductive to getting lean. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

I have had several people tell me not to worry about it so much, especially at first when i am just trying to get used to eating right and often. My recommended allowance was in the 30's, but if i keep it under 50 then i am happy. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!
