What does fat mean? I have a BMI of about 22, which isn’t overweight, but I have also been healthy with less fat on my body and I can pinch my stomach or thigh, so there is subcutaneous fat.
I ask because my gallbladder hates it when I eat fatty foods, so other than a handful of peanuts or a couple tablespoons of oil or sauce, I can’t actually eat much fat. Can I just eat a lot more other food?
Soybeans, eggs, olives and avocado have a lot of fat. And carbs get turned into fat if you don’t burn the sugars immediately.
Yeah, tofu is a major source of my dietary fat, but the others are no gos. I guess what I’m wondering is, does the process happen with calories or does it have to be fat already locked away?
Carbohydrates/starches do the same thing. The body coverts them to fat if you over-eat. A high carbohydrate diet is the number one reason for obesity.
Eating whole grains is better as they are digested slower and don't spike the blood sugar as fast.
Spending a day outside in cold temps can double or triple your caloric needs depending on the conditions.
