Phase 4 - How much fat should one eat when eating carbs?

  • Hello,

    I am curious how much fat should be eaten when consuming carbs. I know they should be separated - so none if possible. But the meal plan suggests eating eggs in the morning with toast, and eggs have fat in them, as does some milk and yogurt.

    So my question is - what foods are considered "fatty" and what is the maximum amount of fat one should consume, if eating carbohydrates?

    Thank you!
  • this is the info I got. Fats: Butter, Cheese, Margarine, Milk, Oils, Yogurt

    Example of breakfast: 2 slices of whole wheat toast with butter, 1 egg, Ham, Yogurt and an apple.

    Lunch: 7 oz protein, vegetables, plus 1 or 2 fats - example: Chicken ceasar salad. NO Carbs

    Dinner: 7 oz protein, vegetables, 7 oz of complex carbs, plus fruit - ex: steak, baked potatoe, Corn & Spinach, Raspberry salad. NO Fats

    I've been using a normal serving of fats - 1 pat butter, 4oz yogurt.
    No fats/Carbs together except for breakfast. In other words - no pasta, or potatoes or rice for lunch. Those are for dinner - but no cream sauce, gravy with those. Hope this helps. I keep my sheet with me until I have it totallly figured out in my head!
