I love Kath's blog :) A lot of high-fat foods (avocadoes, olive oil) give me really bad digestive issues, so I can only have them in very small amounts. As a result, I think about my fat intake all the time! I'm worried that I don't get enough! I try to eat lots of nuts, nut butter and whole eggs to make up for it. But I bet I should probably be eating more. Awesome post! I love Kath’s blog :)

I was actually listening to Jillian Michael's podcast a few weeks ago and she said something that surprised me. She said that the healthy fat + carb combo before a workout actually wasn't the best idea. She suggested fruit because the sugar in it affects your body faster. Do you think that perhaps healthy fat and carbs are good before an endurance workout but if you were doing intervals or something shorter and more intense, perhaps the fruit would be a better choice? Would love your thoughts! This is an informative post, thanks for having Kath contribute!

I eat probably an avocado a day now where I used to have a quarter of one every couple days. I rarely buy fat free things anymore. Infact, I can't remember the last time I did!

My oatmeal doesn't feel complete without peanut or almond butter, and I love me some avocados. On sale of course! Now I realize that eating "fat free" candy or cookies are not only full of preservatives and chemicals, but are sugar in disguise of health food. Great post!

Why not just eat more protein? I eat a fairly low-carb (no grains, beans, potatoes, etc) high-fat (full-fat greek yogurt, grass-fed meats, eggs) diet and have noticed nothing but strength gains since I started eating this way over a year and a half ago. Grains are a fairly new addition to the human diet and are not necessary for good health. I get all the carbs I need from veggies and fruit!

It is essential for the health of any athlete. I did some research and discovered that at least for runners, low fat intake increases the chance of injury over 50%!!! I was amazed by this fact and knew I should try to get a healthy fat in every meal I eat. <a Href="http://happinessawaits.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/day-off-for-the-knee-the-hip-and-my-brain/" rel="nofollow">My research into Fat Intake & Runners</a> I am actually attempting to increase my fat intake.

Growing up, everything in our house was fat free, low fat, reduced fat. Now, I've learned the difference between good fat and bad fat and I don't mine loading up on the good stuff but I am aware of the higher calorie content in fat so of course, everything in moderation! I love me some avocado, nut butters, salmon, butter, oils, flax, and nuts! I used to always be afraid of fat. Growing up, everything in our house was fat free, low fat, reduced fat.

It's amazing how much better I feel when I'm well fueled. It's something that I constantly struggle with, but I'm trying :-) Also, I love healthy fats - peanut butter, avocado, crusty bread dipped in olive oil, yum, yum, yum!
