Hello there. I’m fairly new to this and a bit confused about fats…what are you all eating in terms of ratios of fats? I took advice from one of the links here and tried out the cronometer software and had a rather cruel awakening…I realized that about 50% of my daily intake is from fats…I had no idea! Granted, these are healthy, vegetable based fats and it’s not like I’m full of bacon fats or anything. But still, 50% seems like quite a high percentage, particularly when I’m eating about the right number of calories for my size. Now, having trimmed down the fat ratio a little (sacrificed my beloved avocado a day which makes me most sad and reduced my nut intake) I find myself feeling ravenous (like I could eat tall buildings rather than leap them:) and salivating after heavy breads, pastas etc, things that I haven’t eaten in ages.
What do your diets look like in that respect? Am I placing too much importance on this percentage thing and this infernal software? Or am I simply facing the hard truth of an overly luxurious diet? What do you think?
