.. WHY DON'T I EAT OIL? ๐ค๐ฅ๐๐ผ.
What is the difference between consuming fat in the form of oil OR whole plant based foods. I consume carbs, protein and fats in almost every meal, but I try to get these from whole foods. For example my favourite fat sources are things like: avocados, tahini, nuts, chia seeds, and flaxmeal.
What are your views on this?๐๐ผโโ๏ธ

You can see that half a small avocado has the same amount of calories as only 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. You can also see that their fat content is pretty similar, however their fibre content and size/weight varies greatly.

THIS is why I choose "whole" fats over consuming oils in my foods. The fibre, water and nutrient content of fats such as avocados keeps me fuller for longer, and helps to satiate me more. When cooking with oil or even drizzling it over salads, it is very easy for the fat & calories to add up very fast due to its concentration.

Yes oil can come from whole healthy fats...
