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.



Ah yeah, interesting feedback, maybe there's some tweaking to be done to take satiety into account.


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.
