I never really make a conscious effort to include them. I just eat a lot of good food that tends to include a decent fat content: plenty of steak, canola oil when frying / cooking, fish oil tabs, eggs, and the rest just tends to come passively from foods I'm cooking.

I think if your diet is generally good and like a normal athlete, you don't have to worry about consciously adding fat as it'll be in there anyway passively from good foods.

Wish I could eat planty of steak mate. It's just too expensive to eat it everyday!

peanut butter & mixed nuts...... almonds,brazils,walnuts,monkey nuts, etc

i get my healthy fats from almonds , eggs , salmon , olive oil , fish oil tabs  , natural peanut butter and if i cook then i use organic virgin cocunut oil as this is the healthiest oil to cook with and has a tonne of health benefits......( funnily enough cocunut oil is also what is added to oat gain - which is my favourite meal replacement / weight gainer and a fantastic supplement )

I use Hemp Oil , organic extra virgin coconut oil and peanut butter.

salmon, eggs, olive oil and snacking on nuts in the evening to curb the hunger somewhat

I'm with you on this! It's the best tasting weight gain ever!! Just a shame it doesnt have casein in it

Avacados are a great food. I have 1 every day or half of a big one every day. The fats are all good fats ie...monosaturated fats and a perfect combo with Avacados staggering amount of fat-soluble antioxidants which are carotenoids.These include
alpha-carotene
beta-carotene
beta-cryptoxanthin
chrysanthemaxanthin
lutein
neochrome
neoxanthin
violaxanthin
zeaxanthin

Avacados also taste yummy!

Avacado is one food I dont think I've tried.

I'll be going to Asda on my lunch tomorrow to buy myself one!

Are you going to the body power expo Darren?

Orangio, Avacado's are an aquired taste but i found after a couple that i grew to love the taste, hopefully you'll like them. If you go to Asdas then buy the ones that are ripe because the unripe ones can take over a week to ripen. Also, don't believe the crap you read about Avacado's being fattening, excess calories are fattening. A large Avacado is about 220 calories and a small one contains around 100-110 calories, hardly fattening.

As for the Expo?no mate, i have no plans to go. Where is it being held? Iv'e never been to a power expo before.
