Of course with anything you don't want to overdo it, but add some healthy fats. Your body will thank you.
I know, this focus on considering all fat to be bad isn't correct or good, but I did absorb that idea some time ago. My original nutritionist had me on a diet that only included 15% fat and I took that and made it work.

My new diet is supposed to have up to 29% fat.. Fat is also a great energy source as well. I will say that I only maintained that 15% fat proportion for about a year, until I lost most of my weight. That is really hard to maintain over a longer time period.

I have already added more nuts to my diet, and cooking with olive oil for things other than my egg whites (which stick to the pan if I don't use spray). I suspect that I will enjoy Greek yogurt with a bit more fat content
