Date: July 12, 2011 05:41PM 1) Lets say I plunge my hand into a big bowl of nuts and come up with 1 handful, would that be obtaining my 10% daily fat intake?
might sound silly but im terrible with measurements and have no measuring tools. So im quite unsure of when i should cap the amount of nuts ive eaten in a day. 2) how many medium sized avocado's would I need to eat to obtain 10% daily fat? 3) is it accurate to say 80/10/10 is to eat 80% fruits, 10% greens and 10% fats? thanks, dont mean to be spamming the boards but ive been going through 300 pages of posts here the last few days, down to page 53!

Date: July 13, 2011 02:43PM You should really buy the book. That would answer your questions. Theres actually alot of misconceptions about 80/10/10 on the internet. I agree that using an online calculator would be ideal. I like to use nutritiondata.com
To answer question 2) Probably half an avacado or an once of nuts will be a good amount (you would probably exceed the 10%). Half an avacado has 17g of fat or 153 calories. The remainder of the fat calories will come from fruits and veg. On any given day you can easily eat 10g of fat just from fruits and vegatbles. Question 3 represents on of the biggest misconceptions about 80/10/10. 80/10/10 is a macronutrient ratio, not a ratio of types of foods! Contrarty to popular belief, this diet is not low in greens and vegetables. If someone were to really follow the guidelines in the book, they may actually be eating upto equal number of servings of greens as fruit depending on how many greens/veg they decided to eat. Depending on how much calories you need this could equate to 15-30 servings of green and veg per day Re: few questions about 80/10/10

Date: July 21, 2011 06:56PM I agree with Workout Man, get the book and read carefully. Doug is a gifted writer and has a unique perspective. While I don't agree with some of what he says, his views and counseling have obviously helped many on the Board. And if confronted with a choice of eating SAD or 811, I would have no hesitation in choosing the latter.
