[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People tracking macros and calories and whatnot are so boring. It makes me want to dive facefirst into a large lasagna.[/quote]

I agree with you, and I’m the OP![/quote]

there is no need for the average person, even in cal deficit, to track macros. [/quote]

The macro all persons should be tracking is FIBER. Most Americans are fiber deficient and a fiber deficient diet is linked to poorer health and earlier death. The body of research is unquestionable.

Get 25-50g of fiber from whole foodstuffs as minimally processed as possible heavy on the beans/legumes and green leafy vegetables and berries every day. Do that and your health will transform, assuming you also ditch the mass quantities of animal protein and the sugar and added sugars in UPFs and also steer clear of seed oils.[/quote]

I was with you until you uttered the phrase “seed oils.”[/quote]

Seed oils are very unhealthful compared to much healthier alternatives such as extra virgin olive oil, a fruit oil that is minimally processed. Seed oils are often processed chemically and while in tbr abstract omega 6 fatty acid is good for us, at the current ratio many Americans are consuming it (20:1) relative to omega 3 fatty acid, it it driving chronic inflammation which drives numerous chronic illnesses.

Seed oils in moderation might be okay but most Americans consuming 60-70% of calories from UPFs are also consuming way more than moderate amounts of seed oils because they are present in so many UPFs.

The only seed oil I consume regularly is what is included in my natural peanut butter and is thus minimally processed. I eat plenty of nuts and seeds and just skip the chemical processing bleaching etc. I prefer to cook with evoo.

Why does your natural peanut butter have added oil? Mine does not.

Cooking with evoo isn’t wise because it’s not supposed to be heated to high temperatures. [/quote]

What’s better? Avocado?[/quote]
