So as I keep saying, each meal should always consist of protein , complex carbs , and healthy fats. Now you know where you can get the protein and the complex carbs from, so it’s time to talk about fat. Ok, so go to Mcdonalds and you are good. JK! There is a HUGE difference between healthy fat (monosaturated, polysaturated, omega-3) versus bad fat (transfat and saturated fat). Your body needs 2-3 services of healthy fats each day.
Fat is something we really need to pay more attention to, as all of the “low fat” diets out there have really elimated these from our diets when our bodies need them! Some suggested reading for the skinny on fat: In Defense of Food and Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes. I haven’t read the second one yet (just have heard good things), but I am halfway through In Defense of Food and loving it!
Do you eat healthy fat with each meal? Where do you get your fat from? Read any good food books lately?
