eh, i avoid fat most of the time. i sautee with olive oil, about a teaspoon max, and otherwise, i just try to avoid any unnecessary fats. Most meats i eat are pretty lean or rare. IE, boneless skinless chicken or some type of red meat/steak/whatever, not too much marbling or anything. Fish is pretty common lately, salmon/sushi/tuna
I've been at about 1500 or less calories overall (down from probably 3000-3500 if you count all the sodas), which, i know, leads to my jitteriness during a pretty tough workout, but my main problem is that i can't figure out what to eat beforehand that will carry me through. I really don't get or stay hungry, so i think i've found a good caloric balance for me at the moment. I just need to figure out how to spread that out more and take in a bit more before a workout.
i avoid hydrogenated fats, sat fats are generally only taken in with cheese or red meat, which i kinda keep low, and the others are from fish or olive oil. other than that, i have drastically changed my diet.
thanks so much for the help. this is very interesting so far and definitely food for thought
