Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kristin251" data-source="post: 1578396" data-attributes="member: 240838">I don't eat a lot of animal fat. I eat more plant / mono fats like avocado everyday, olive oil, mayo and some nuts and seeds. I do eat chicken thighs but skinless boneless with no additional fat. I eat lean lamb chops and beef steaks but cut off visible fat. I don't eat chicken skin, bacon, gobs of butter or dairy except one ounce of cheese. I don't need to lose weight but too much animal fat will make me gain. I am very low carb ( 20 or less) but I only eat moderate fat even though it comprises about 75-80% of my diet. Mostly in an avocado a day and some olive oil/ mayo and an ounce or so of macadamia nuts or pecans. I keep my protein to the recommended guidelines of .8-1g per kg LEAN bicycle mass per day. For me that's about 5 oz divided through the day. I do find animal fat to make me more insulin resistant than mono fats.</blockquote>
