[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2011541, member: 41816"] I think it would be impossible to eat a zero fat diet. Simply impossible. Even oats, which most of us would think were zero fat, actually have 8g of fat per 100g [URL]https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/268588694[/URL] [SIZE=4][B]Nutrition[/B][/SIZE] [B]Typical Values[/B] [B]Typical Values Per 100g[/B] Energy 1565 kJ 626 kJ 994 kJ - 374 kcal 150 kcal 237 kcal (12%*) Fat 8.0 g of which Saturates 1.5 g Carbohydrate 60 g of which Sugars** 1.1 g Fibre 9.0 g Protein 11 g Salt 0 That is approx 72 calories out of 272 in oats coming from the fat, which is over a quarter of the energy in oats coming from fat. Likewise Tofu has [URL]https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/266727466[/URL] [SIZE=4][B]Nutrition[/B][/SIZE] [B]Typical Values[/B] [B]Typical Values (as sold) Per 100g[/B] [B](as sold) Per 1/4 pack[/B] Energy 494kJ 489kJ - 118kcal 117kcal Fat 7.1g of which saturates 1.2g Carbohydrate 1.0g of which sugars 0.7g Fibre 1.9g Protein 12.6g Salt 0.03g Therefore fat makes up approx one 16th of the calories in tofu, which is considered a 'low fat' food. So the idea of a zero fat diet is a nonsense. I think that the various ideas put forward in the vegan community about avoiding fat are for a way of eating where [B][I]added [/I][/B]fat is kept to a minimum. This is much more doable, and still allows adequate fat intake from items like avocados, nuts and seeds. It would certainly allow the essential omegas to be included in the diet, although I would have to do some research and number crunching to discover how much of what was needed to hit the RDAs.
