MUFAs - beautiful, tasty fats!

[southernsoul 773]

I love olive oils and try different ones all the time. A recent great discovery is the brand California Olive Ranch. I read about a bunch of awards they had received & I was thrilled to find it at my local grocery store. Each bottle includes a harvest date, and the pressing technique they use is exceptional. I've never been much into avocados, but now I'm going to work on that. Thanks so much for this post!

I prefer getting my nutrients from quality food where possible' date=' but agree that supplements can assist when we need to intensify our intake, or when access to quality nutrients is challenged. I do not take any supplements regularly though do at times where I need to.

Omega 3, while an essential unsaturated fat, is a poly unsaturated rather than a mono unsaturated :-)[/quote']

You are right. And I was also wrong about what the Omega 3 is sourced from. It is not sourced from avocados, but is sourced from sardines, herrings and anchovies. Regardless, it has worked out really well.

Sounds great! I love sardines, herrings and anchovies!

I try and eat nuts like almonds every day but yep they are pricy in the calories! I have always loved nuts and eat regularly to help get healthy fats:)

[swizzly 901]

Yeah I love the fat! I do eat a lot of it every day!

I can't order anything, internet is tricky, have to rely on care packages for everything. I do have a few hoarded tins of sardines which I love, and there is occasionally tuna but too much tuna makes me break out. My daily food options consist of maybe some chicken, eggs, "steak", some over-boiled vegetables, some raw veggies like carrots and cucumbers and onions, and some raw fruit like plums, kiwis and oranges. Everything else is fried, breaded, super high fat/salt/sugar. I brought several boxes of Quest bars but I have to ration those out because they are so high in carbs.

Please let me know what you would like in a care package and where it should be sent to.

Some ideas:

Low carb Protein bars (pure Protein, nu go slim, or whatever you prefer)

Fish oil (good quality)

snack food like beef Jerky or ostrich Jerky ( a personal favorite as high protein)

A freezer pak ( not sure you have the ability to freeze things, but this pak keeps your daily meats safe to eat in hot weather)

Protein powder (what do you like? - would arrive as sealed bag, not tub)

A good quality multi Vitamin for athletes

This is just a brain dump of suggestions. Do let me know what would help you the most.

I am sure others would also feel that they could send something too.

Oh my God, Fiddleman, I could cry! That would be a dream package!! All of that sounds so awesome, yes yes yes please!!

A lot of protein powders make me break out so I try to find gluten free-hormone free, no casein, etc. Tera's whey is decent.

No refridgerator sadly, would very much like to try the green drinks we've been discussing.

Also, sardines are awesome!

I will PM you my APO addy. <3 <3!!!!

Most of the carbs in Quest bars are Fiber, so they have low net carbs. Maybe you can get more of those?

[Globetrotter 1,340]

Oh I have plenty of those, I have 3 full boxes! But I cannot live on Quest bars alone, tasty as they are, and I have to make those 3 boxes last me 10 months.
