Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: How much fat can we eat per meal?

I think that this question is better asked in the EFI board, but I've always went with the rule to have no more than 20 percent of my cals come from fat. But that's my personal preference. Some days I go over (no more than 30 percent) and some days I'm under. If you go to www.fitday.com they calculate your fat, protein, carb percentages for you (after you've entered your foods in). I think that Heather has a recipe for guac in her book. I also found this post from Heather

"Lately I've just been mashing the avocados with green Tabasco sauce (I'm totally addicted to the stuff). I add a squirt of lime if I'm really feeling ambitious, but that's it. It's a shortcut version that I've completely fallen in love with. When I'm really lazy, I just cut the avocado in half, take out the pit, use a fork to mash the filling right in the shell, and mix in the green Tabasco as I'm doing it. Then I just eat it right out of the shells with baked Tostitos. My secret joy is not having a bowl to wash at the end of it."

HTH!
