Hey everyone!
So, for about a month now I've been counting calories, doing cardio 6x a week and lifting weights 2x a week. And, though I have toned up slightly I haven't lost a single pound
I eat extremely lean, healthy foods (a lot of low-fat yogurt, multigrain cereals, oatmeal, fruit, veggies, tuna etc.) and I really don't get a lot of fat in my diet. In fact, I don't think I'm getting enough (my total cholesterol is 130 for example) and I'm starting to wonder if it's not holding me back from weight loss. I think I should try upping my % of fat to see what happens.
I was hoping maybe some of you could give me some suggestions for easy ways to incorporate more fat into my daily diet. Even saturated fat sources are fine because I get so little fat otherwise.
I've just started using peanut butter occasionally on my apples, but I have a hard time sacrificing so many calories for such a small amount of food. Anyone have any ideas? Something that comes in delineated servings would be ideal. I'm considering eating a few sausage links every day but it's not the best solution for me as I try to avoid processed meats.
Any suggestions? All ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
