help, I need a healthy meal plan w/ 100g fat for 4 days

[SallyK]

Per doctor's orders, I need to eat 100 grams of fat for 4 days. On the fourth day I have to provide stool samples. I just know this is going to make me feel so gross. I've been putting it off for a few weeks and now it's time to get it done. I need to eat as closely to what I normally eat, just with lots of extra fat...I can't go out and eat fried food for each meal, know what I mean?
I eat your typical vegan fare, but lately have been avoiding wheat and soy and fake meats. I also don't eat hydrogenated fats (except the occasional tofutti sour cream when the non-hydrogenated one isn't available).
I think I'm supposed to include a few saturated fats as well.
Can anyone help? Please? :sick:

Ok, I'm don't have a meal plan, but here are some quick fatty ideas:

Coconut milk! Try making a smoothie with coconut milk, bananas, and almond butter for breakfast each day.

Lots of guacamole and tortilla chips!

Chocolate bars!

Flax oil!

Mixed nuts throughout the day!
(I'm using exclamation points because I love fat)

I'll keep trying to think of more. I'm leaving out the obvious things like potato chips and the like.

Use fitday.com to track how much fat you've eaten. That will help.

Other then that, April covered it nicely.

Make a grilled avocado sandwich (with at least 1/2 of a mashed avocado, with at least 1/2 of a tomato, diced, mixed in), and grill it in Olive Oil & Garlic. Also, put olive oil on the bread before you put it in the pan. Its really good, and it doesn't feel excessively greasy.

Hey that sounds pretty good! Thanks! How many fat grams does a med. avocado have?

Thank you, I almost forgot about coconut milk. I think I even have some in my cupboard, so I could probably start this plan tomorrow so that I'm done before the weekend.

About 30 grams of fat according to http://www.answers.com/topic/avocado

I think I understood this wrong...

100g fat for four days, I took that as being 25g fat a day, not 100g a day??

If it is 25g I think you'd be wanting to avoid the fuller fat foods because you'd be able to reach 25g easy through 3 low-med fat meals a day.

[SallyK]

Just to clarify, I need to eat 100 grams of fat for 4 days consecutively. (for a total of 400g)

That's a lotta fat! :D Avocados have tonnes of good fat as everyone else has said. Use them in sandwiches, as dip for tortilla chips or veggies, on tacos, etc. Frying things in olive oil will help add up the fat calories. Try vegan tempura? Grilled sandwiches. Pasta with pesto sauce? The pine nuts and olive oil in that have fat. Nuts, nut butters, tofu. How about fried tofu? Yumm, with chili garlic sauce. :drool:

I'm with April...lol. I like fat, too. :p But not greasy fat. Oog.

[Thalia]

That's not really that much, imo. Just frying some veggies, eating some tater tots, tortilla chips with guacamole, bread with earth balance soy ice cream could easily get you over that hurdle. (believe me, I know how easy it is from experience!)

[SallyK]

Thalia, you're right. I thought it was going to be more than I could deal with but I had a protein shake for breakfast with protein powder, 4 oz of coconut milk and 4 oz of almond milk and that right there was 22 g of fat. This won't be as hard as I thought....at least until the last day when I have to sit and collect my stool all day. :sick:

Just go on Atkins for 4 days :dunce:



:p




But seriously, Aprils ideas are great. Lot's of healthy oils, I LOVE the idea of that avacado sandwich that Rabid mentioned :lick: Sorry about all this...is this because of your tummy troubles?

[bluewisdom]

I made a shake once with 1 cup of chocolate silk, 4 tbsps of peanut butter, 1 frozen average-to-large sized banana, 1 serving wheat germ, and 1/2 cup vanilla soy ice cream. It yields about 3 cups. It was delicious, not that rich at all..and a lot of healthy fat (about 30 - 50 grams, depending on the brands and amounts of the items)

You could also have an avocado sandwich, but I'd recommend using the entire avocado.

More ideas: olive oil, pesto, veganise, dark chocolate, tofu, nuts, seeds, nut butters, granola, chocolate soy milk, yogurt covered raisins/pretzels, chocolate covered raisins/pretzels. Kettle and Terra brand chips also should be an okay source.

The goal is to consume high-fat foods, but you don't want to make yourself sick by doing it through greasy foods....so avoid fried foods and heavy oils, even though it'll boost your fat intake considerably. Just not worth it.

Yeah, it is. What a pain in the butt. :cry:

[iceflower]

Can I ask, if its not too personal, why he recommended so 100g of fat? I'm just curious as to what the fat is beneficial for...400g over 4 days sounds like fun!! :hungry:

[SallyK]

It's not to benefit my stomach, that's for sure. It's to measure how my body is processing fat. I have to collect a bucket of my stool on Friday. I've been having problems with very oily/liquidy (and extrememly frequent) BMs. Sorry to gross you out.

[rainbowmoon]

Gosh, thats unfortunate, because it seems to me that eating all that fat will make you feel any better. I hope its a quick four days, and fairly painless.
Once again, everyone covered what you can eat. Its only four days- I think if you ate a whole think of toffuti, you would consume a lot of fat, some of which would be saturated.
Good luck. :)

[iceflower]

If it were me, I would just eat a 1/2 tub peanut butter a day...ah....heaven :drool:

[SallyK]

I completed my fecal fat collection and turned it in to the clinic. I'll let you know what they say. My stools looked pretty normal though. Which is perplexing to me because they haven't looked normal for quite a long time. *sigh*
