Make Believe Scenario Thread - What would you eat?

#1

Ok so there is no cheese, butter or oils around. Your protein is kind of lean.
You have a choice to add the following fat to your protein:

3 medium avocados or 600 calories of pecans or 600 calories of walnuts.

Which would you choose?

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #2

Personally, I’d go for the avocado. Nuts don’t do it for me. And I’d prepare the avocados one at a time, because I’d probably not even finish the second one.

#3

This would be impossible for me.

I’ve found it statistically impossible for there ever to be 3 ripe avocados ready to eat at the same time in one spot.

:grinning:

I think I’d fast.

I don’t like avocados, except in guacamole.

Nuts would just make me want to eat more.

(Marianne) #5

Avacado.

#6

I’d do one avocado for the fat, potassium and some fiber, and the rest would be the protein. More nutrients and avacados aren’t going to protect against muscle and bone loss with food options being low.

(Robin) #7

None of the above. I’d stick with the lean meat.
I don’t fix things before they’re broken.

#8

I love the taste of both pecans and walnuts. I hate avocado so not that.
But I would feel very miserable without my eggs and fatty meat so I would do whatever it takes to get them.
Until then, either nuts would do, they would give me a little joy (less than eggs and fatty meat, I still would have a hard time to keep my will to live) and I wouldn’t starve. Anything but that. Anyway, we need fat, that’s essential and I personally need high-fat…

If it would be just a few days, I even would wonder about fasting…

#9

What do you hate about avocado?

I hate that it bloats me. I wonder if bodies can adapt to this. Otherwise I like nuts too, but on keto I find them hard to stop eating. When I was young and not keto this wasn’t the case. I don’t know why.

One of my problems is that I need fatty meat too but being pescatarian the fresh fattiest low mercury fish I can find is chinook which only has 11g fat per 22 protein. I always felt best when my protein was equivalent in fat to protein, or double fat to protein (like peanut butter)

#10

The taste. It’s too much like grass. I always hated almost all green stuff :slight_smile: And I was a vegetarian who ADORED vegs and ate them galore. Just not the green ones (except peas and cucumbers and cabbage).
So it’s personal taste.
(Good, it’s so expensive, I could a lot of meat for that money, much better.)
