Otherwise keep up the good work posting in your fitness blog.. very consistent!

You are right, avocado itself has >10% fat, but I had avocado within Sushi today, which overall is less than 10% fat. If you look at previous blog entries you will see that sometimes I have had avocado as a fatty food, that is when I have had avocado on its own or when avocado is the majority food item in what I am eating.

I used to count individual food types within this blog, but it just got too time consuming. I think it was about 2 months after I was posting I decided to post overall for food in order to be consistent.

That way when I eat something prepared, like a sandwich and a drink, I will count the sandwich as one item for the fat count and the drink as the other.

Eg I may have a sprinkle of pure olive oil on my salad, but I don't count that as a fatty food because overall the salad is <10% fat. But I would count a piece of cheese that I eat on its own.

cheers, b
