The site had a nice breakfast suggestion for me: ‘Tofu Scramble’, containing: tofu (14g fat), vegetable oil (14g fat), dijon mustard and low-fat milk. The dish contains 400 kcalories, 260 of those are from fats (that’s 65 percent!).
I don't want to speak for the site creator, but that seems fine for me as long as other parts of the diet balance it out. Contrary to common American nutritional wisdom, fats are not the root of all evil.
I agree wholeheartedly. My point was that 33% of fats in your diet isn’t hard to accomplish. Also, as far as ‘good’ vs ‘bad’ fats go, aforementioned recipe did quite alright. It’s transfat and saturated fats you have to watch — fat in and of itself is needed for our bodies to function.
However, I wouldn't just eat Tofu Scramble for breakfast. I need complex carbs not to feel hungry soon after. I can do without carbs for dinner, but not for breakfast or lunch. A typical breakfast for me consists of 0% fat Greek yogurt, mixed with oats, linseed, nuts and fresh fruit. That still has plenty of fats, but also carbs.
It’s not so much about feeling satiated, I can be satisfied with just a simple green salad. I choose oats and flax for breakfast because they have a low glycemic index (GI), which means they’re turned into energy over a longer period of time, keeping me from feeling hungry longer.
But yeah, it would be good if the site would take the GI index of ingredients into account.
