Date: April 03, 2013 04:54PM I am wondering how much fat we should have in our diet..in general.
I think the olive oil might be affecting me.. has anyone else experienced a difference once they get rid of olive oil? also, in terms of grams, for me, it helps to have a better understanding of how much fat grams I need in my diet. Again, this is different for everyone, I know. Right now, I get my fat from flax seed, chia, hemp, olive oil and of course, the veggies. Sometimes, I put 2 tablespoons of flax on my salad at lunch and one at dinner... is that too much? Thanks! Re: Fat

With avocados, you know it's fresh. If you are eating 2000 calories, and you desire a 20% fat intake, then that is about 44 grams of fat.  Re: Fat

On the day I bought a liter of olive oil!  But I have a great sense of taste and can tell if an oil is rancid. Seriously. And I have taken back olive oil that didn't cut it.Re: Fat
