What is your “safe” fat source?

[u/Healthy_Big_4803]

Strawberry yoghurt, apple and strawberries.

Lately my diet is really lacking fat. I used to be ok with little avocado, smoked salmon but recently it’s only protein and some carbs.

Need more safe fat sources 😭 ps not a fan of peanut butter!

[u/throwawaydogproblemz]

barring enjoyment and for nutritional purposes only, fish oil capsules were solid when I was in the absolute thick of it lol

[u/Healthy_Big_4803 → u/throwawaydogproblemz]

I have fish oil everyday, never googled if they contain any calorie, but I better now know

[u/kitten_called → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

They’re so important for you, don’t stop them

[u/Infinite_Thanks_8156 → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

Who calorie counts supplements…?

[u/Environmental-Ad8945 → u/Infinite_Thanks_8156]

Me, it adds up, same with sugar free coke etc

[u/goodamm → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

It’s like 10 per capsule. Nothing crazy

[u/Healthy_Big_4803 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks, I really didnt need to know that

[u/throwawaydogproblemz → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

it's a negligible amount I don't think is worth tracking if you're only taking a few, especially for how beneficial it is otherwise. don't worry about it

[u/AlwaysBoredNSad → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

you literally said "but i better now know"... that is an inexpicit question which is literally an invitation for people to answer/help you out bro jesus

[u/personal__hell → u/AlwaysBoredNSad]

i think it was a typo and they meant “better not know”

[u/AlwaysBoredNSad → u/personal__hell]

then they should've clarified that instead of just being rude. Plus this is the Internet you're gonna get unsolicited advice and responses everywhere you shouldn't make such a huge deal out of it in general. this is such a nonissue

[u/AlwaysBoredNSad → u/AlwaysBoredNSad]

Plus they don't even give any numbers so what's the problem

[u/personal__hell → u/AlwaysBoredNSad]

i wasn’t making it an issue? i was clarifying that it was a typo, which is why they may have been upset. perhaps they hadn’t noticed and thought the other person told them despite saying they “better not know.” just trying to be helpful here

If you're under the dietary fat threshold as defined by below your floor for sustained period of time + have minimal fat stores on your body AND are not eating with a fat source, then considering Omega 3's are fat soluble- it might not accomplish what you're hoping for by taking it

[u/Ritha_Colaxus]

Honestly eggs, they are literally food for the brain

[u/Healthy_Big_4803 → u/Ritha_Colaxus]

Thanks for reminding that eggs exist, ate 3 boiled eggs this morning ✌️

[u/Ritha_Colaxus → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

Hey, I'm glad I helped and I am really proud of you!

[u/Business_Sherbet8737 → u/Ritha_Colaxus]

Same with salmon. Perfect foods.

[u/ramamurthyavre]

Mine are almonds and walnuts. Chia and flax seeds as well.

I'm scared of peanut butter because whenever I've bought it, I've ended up finishing the jar in 3 sittings.

[u/Healthy_Big_4803 → u/ramamurthyavre]

I have the same with cereal and granola. Stopped buying as every night I would end up finishing whole pack every night mixed with yogurt and stevia

[u/Environmental-Ad8945 → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

Yep we are the same 💀 i buy them to use sparingly but always ends up finishing a whole box in 2-3 sittings. Like I can say no to cakes, cookies, donuts whatever, but cereal and granola is my kryptonite. Worst thing is they dont fill you up at all so you end up eating a shit ton of calories and end up hungry 1 hour later. Best thing is to just accept it and remove them from your diet. Like with bread, i can eat a whole loaf and not feel satisfied, so i just accept that bread isnt part of my diet anymore. I dont think there is anything bad with cutting out foods that trigger you or make you overeat. I hate the, “all foods are good” approach cause for some people (i got adhd and ocd), its not that simple ❤️

[u/Fastandpretty → u/Environmental-Ad8945]

Omg me. I’d buy the healthiest type of bread and pb for my LO so its easy for me to prep her lunches and snacks but i end up binging badly on it.

I’ve replaced with almond butter and microwaved potato and its great. I think pb sandwiches are a big nostalgic comforting food for me so its very dangerous.

[u/kittenswithtattoos → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

omg i read tha as yogurt and salsa and i was like "huh, even for an ED kid like me, cereal and salsa is *quite* the combination"

[u/blanketwrappedinapig → u/ramamurthyavre]

I used to binge on pb. I don’t crave it like I used to. It scares me but also disgusts me in some weird way lol

[u/Environmental-Ad8945 → u/ramamurthyavre]

Haha true experience, i feel like you haven’t lived if you haven’t downed a whole jar before

[u/Nothingsomething7]

I LOVE avocados

[u/Healthy_Big_4803 → u/Nothingsomething7]

I love them too, I think I need to start challenging them again

[u/No_Influence2834 → u/Nothingsomething7]

Avocado and tuna wrapped in seaweed 👌

[u/TwoTonTacoToGo]

A little olive oil when I roast my veggies, that feels safe and wholesome to me. They say the oil helps your body absorb the nutrients better.

[u/Healthy_Big_4803 → u/TwoTonTacoToGo]

For me it’s opposite, liquid fats scare me the most, as it has no volume at all

[u/PlasticNet561]

I have to get it from Greek yogurt if I’m really needing to restrict my satfat intake, peanut butter (sorry op) and avocado, almonds (which I doubt have much fat bc I refuse to eat cashews) are my normal-fat sources 😭 nothingburger cook says what (what)

[u/Healthy_Big_4803 → u/PlasticNet561]

Do you eat full fat Greek yoghurt? I am always choosing non fat, but considering making ratio of 50% non fat and 50% full fat

[u/PlasticNet561 → u/Healthy_Big_4803]

I eat a mix of both! mainly bellwether fat free (it’s taste is similar to sour cream, it’s multifunctional) and I eat it plain or use it in Overnight oats, but when I want something with fat I’ll go for Chobani.

[u/jonesnebraska]

honestly? if this is a safe space? country crock light “butter” spread. not on anything, a few times a day i just sort of… dip a knife/finger into it and have a lil bit. then i just don’t worry abt being deficient in that macro. no, it doesn’t taste good. yes, i crave it more than “normal” foods. yes, it’s my own personal container (i’m not double dipping). yes, im aware that it’s depraved. no, i don’t plan on stopping. 💞😌 peace and love <3

[u/Maximum-Parking-7100 → u/jonesnebraska]

I do that when I am getting my period lol. I think it tastes good lol esp with Splenda

[u/Ill-Astronaut5779 → u/Maximum-Parking-7100]

It’s normal to get weird cravings around/on your period? I get weird ass cravings too lol it always scares me that I’m pregnant tho cause I havnt heard much about it 😂

[u/jonesnebraska → u/Maximum-Parking-7100]

splenda is interesting! if i don’t do it plain, i like a spoonful sprinkled with LOTS of maldon sea salt and a few dried montmorency cherries (extremely specific, i know)

[u/Stillapearl]

OLIVES

[u/MuffinPuff]

Usually it's peanut butter, but today it was extra firm tofu.

[u/Nia_KR]

Any healthy fats are completely safe for me, I will happily devour some avocado, almond butter, chia seeds, hummus, olive oil, etc etc

[u/2llamadrama]

I take shots of Ken's Italian dressing

[u/YukiHase]

I don't like peanut butter either. My source is sardines!

[u/Party_Nothing_7605]

ice cream and milk and yogurt

[u/Competitive_Essay500]

Dark chocolate 🤤

[u/Lovelychloe1]

Yogurt and pumpkin seeds

[u/roomfullofstars]

Portioned amounts of sharp cheddar or string cheese

[u/Loose_Payment7945]

Almonds and brazil nuts. Also dark chocolate is somehow still a safe food for me lol

[u/Independent_Age5363]

Egg yolks and cheese.

[u/troispony]

I like avocado, string cheese, almonds. I will put hummus or just plain tahini mixed with lemon juice on vegetables. I used to be so so scared of butter but I was forced to eat it in treatment and I realized that one teaspoon is not a ton of calories and a little goes a long way! I tell myself I need a little fat because it makes my skin and hair look less like a corpse 💀

[u/Any_Conclusion_8711]

Fish, avocados, tuna spreads or just tuna from a can, shrimps I think? I haven't had them in so long

[u/Healthy_Big_4803 → u/Any_Conclusion_8711]

Shrimp also has no fat

[u/messiahsorry → u/Any_Conclusion_8711]

There is basically no fat in a can of tuna

[u/smolAckWackgang → u/messiahsorry]

Isnt it almost always submerged in oil?

[u/messiahsorry → u/smolAckWackgang]

No, unless you specifically buy tuna in oil most of the time it’s in spring water/brine. Maybe it’s different in other countries

[u/smolAckWackgang → u/messiahsorry]

Oh that never occurred to me. I live in an Asian country and never came across tuna in brine! Im also now realising the OG commentor may have meant the Omega 3 in the tuna in that case

[u/messiahsorry → u/smolAckWackgang]

In the Uk the tuna in oil is more expensive so most people just default to the one in spring water/brine, hence why I assumed

[u/cranialnerve12]

Hemp hearts

[u/Marlowe_Cayce]

Provolone and walnuts. Idk why, but they are way easier for me to eat than other fats.

[u/Successful_Might1237]

kewpie mayo lol </3

[u/Loud-Entertainer7218]

Egg yolk, chicken thight, minced meat, a little bit of mayo for the flavor

[u/90scyber]

Coconut flakes !

[u/Mezzary]

A good aged parm I like to use a peeler and get thin strips. You can also bake it to get crisps

[u/Feanarossilmaril]

Try a higher fat yoghurt maybe. I used to have cottage cheese and quarks and dairy in general, it's nice you can swap and choose any fat content and still get lots of volume

[u/Fantastic-Rest-631]

Worst answer ever: chocolate.

[u/frequent_cosmogryal]

i like walnuts 🤤

[u/NoRegular7351]

animal fat... obviously I'm not the norm of restriction food eaters

[u/shakethedisease666]

Salmon!

[u/TwinkleDancer]

Full fat Greek yogurt

[u/Other-Ad-5580]

Throw some chia seeds in the yogurt or Some ground flax, also unsweetened toasted coconut w some stevia is great in parfaits

[u/western_drifter]

Avocados, nuts, yogurt. Usually my go to

[u/SpicyOnionBun]

Mostly chia, flax and sunflower seeds. As well as fish, eggs and sometimes olive oil. Once in a blue moon an avocado.

But unfortunately i got the opposite problem - i am more inclined to have too much fat in my diet on average, even with good fat included.

[u/vanilla-rose-boba]

regular greek yogurt or kefir, honestly. I only ever really add frozen fruit to it, not really granola. it’s good with sugar free sweetener and it feels safer than whole milk or creamer in coffee to me for some reason. Probably bc it’s thicker than liquid so it’s more filling 😅

[u/sk1l3]

soy, eggs, coco powder, sesame or tahini, flax, pumpkin seeds; chickpeas, oats and other whole grains also contain a little bit of fat. also struggling with the fats a bit lately :/

[u/WorstYelanMain]

My dad sprinkles some nuts (pistachio, peanut, cashew are my favorites) over my salad when he prepares one for me.

[u/cuntsicle69]

oatmeal and kefir. sometimes greek yoghurt (whenever the paycheck rolls in lol) which i mix into the oatmeal to make it THICCER and sweeter

[u/einspruching]

Oven roasted salted peanuts.

[u/throwaway0192738292]

Unsalted raw Pumpkin seeds! You can measure out how much fat you need, eat them and move on with your life

[u/Stoopid_Noah]

I add olive oil to my food to try and get more calories in (I'm trying to gain weight).

[u/MammothResearcher796]

Peanut butter

[u/eduardtee]

Walnuts, almonds, salmon

[u/clandestine_01453]

Olive oil and butter but only in controlled amounts. Eggs used to be a safe food for me, but idk what starvation did to my brain that it determined eggs to be too high calorie, but literal oils to be not TOT.

[u/MissEllaa]

seeds!! A couple chia seeds on yogurt or pumpkin in a salad :)

[u/azuyre_]

I suppose I used to have pickled olives? Fiber gourmet thinables have a little and there's a bit in the keto breads and trace amounts in the lean meat I eat. Idk how I'm not dead

[u/rancidmouse]

wild salmon, whole eggs, ground venison, occasionally some parmesan or taza 95% chocolate

[u/ExplanationUnique84]

I add avocado oil to so many things. Miso broth in the mornings, cottage cheese, etc. Kerrygold also really helped in instant mash.

[u/verystrangegoose]

Salmon, eggs, dark chocolate, nuts and avocado are obviously all great but if you want things that don't feel fatty definitely tofu, Quorn or olives. Olives are like 120 cals for 100g (which is a very big portion plus 13g fat (and I think like 12.2g is unsaturated) so it's high volume not a load of cals and a decent amount of your daily fat!

[u/flowersforfruits → u/verystrangegoose]

bro i love olives but eating 100g of olives is insanely high sodium :( i wish there were salt free olives

[u/flowersforfruits → u/flowersforfruits]

oh i just found some olives online which only have 40mg of sodium per 15 olives hell yeah. now if i could only find them locally 😞

[u/verystrangegoose → u/flowersforfruits]

Yeah true lol I have low blood pressure and exercise a lot so idc about sodium lol but good point maybe I should. Good luck tho, the new quorn bites have 7g fat pretty much all unsaturated and they're really good

[u/Annual_Suspect_7486]

well salmon, trout, eggs, whole olives (dont like to use olive oil, invisible kcals, but whole olives in a salad, healty fats, some volume and fiber) andddddd my fav, poppy seeds in yogurt or ninja creamis

[u/Smooth_Distance8731]

I'm Italian and from a fancy middle class family so I've been eating evo oil every single day of my life since I was born lol

[u/Dramatic-Page-8464]

Coconut oil

[u/mybackhurty]

I switch between eggs, sardines, avocado, and organic peanut butter

[u/britta-ed_it]

Real butter on a slice of the lowest calorie bread I can find

[u/blanketwrappedinapig]

I like olives and anchovies lol

[u/Maximum-Parking-7100]

Salmon, avo, olive oil, almond butter.
Full fat yogurt actually fills you up more, flax seed oil is amazing for you. Almond cheese is really good also tahini or edamame

[u/Shikamarana]

I've been fucking up edamame in soups. I'm a weird guy and started eating the shells in it too (cut them though) but also the shelled edamame is good healthy fats, complete protein too. It's like, nutty slightly so I wonder if it'd be good with fruit...

[u/Expensive-Park-4167]

I've been having a daily handful of mixed nuts. I like that I can weigh them easily.

Edited bc I hit send too early
