You can have a teaspoon of olive oil on your salad, a tsp. of peanut butter, an ounce of nuts, a tsp. of butter or margarine on toast...pretty much anything you think of as being a "fat."

Congrats on the weight loss so far! Keep up the GREAT work!

A small slice of avocado? mmmmm goes great with salad.

[I Called Jenny]

Thanks, ladies! It's my second try at maintenance. And, in an ironic twist, it was nuts that actually caused me to regain 10 lbs.

My doc had suggested I try eating nuts to aid my...um...digestion, shall we say.

Anyway, the problem was that I wasn't eating just an ounce. I was eating a half a jar! YIKES!

Granted, nuts are a good fat but they ARE a fat and four to six ounces daily was DEFINITELY not what the doctor ordered. Yes, it helped my "digestion" but it sure killed me on the scale.

The only suggestion about the nuts is to get one that isn't loaded with salt or you're going to add insult to injury.

And, yes, as Helen said, a slice of avocado would be great. I also picked up a pack of Wholly Guacamole today in 100 calorie packs in the supermarket. And that would make a great snack/spread on a JC sandwich, burger or a burrito or something like that and it would also give you the needed fat. Yummy!

Almonds are a good choice.....just not chocolate covered

Like Melissa said, Almonds are a good choice for a fat.. and if I may offer a suggestion, I don't buy the bottles or big bags of almonds..only the little individual 100 cal. packs. I don't trust myself when it comes to nuts..can get a little heavy handed and would probably end up eating the whole jar! The little packs are perfect for me..they cost a lil' more but are sooo worth it!!

***Actually, 2 tsp. of peanut butter is a fat.
-It is good on celery or with some apple slices. If I weigh it, 2 tsp. is .4 on my digital scale.
