The One About (Dietary) Fat

VeGAINS Fitness & Nutrition

In this episode of the Vegans Fitness and Nutrition Podcast, we unpack the intricacies of dietary fats, comparing their caloric density to proteins and carbohydrates and stressing the importance of mindful consumption to manage your calorie intake effectively. We dive deep into the necessity of accurate portion measurements for high-fat foods like peanut butter and the critical role of essential fatty acids.We also break down the various types of fats, identifying polyunsaturated fats as the champions for health.
Switching gears, we share our most recent culinary escapades in Chicago, including a quirky chat about the outrageously entertaining shark movie "Under Paris." Imagine mutant sharks wreaking havoc at a triathlon event! We also spotlight a surprising vegan hit from the Republican National Convention: vegan jackfruit brisket. Despite our personal struggles with jackfruit, we can't ignore its BBQ potential. From Voodoo Donuts to Chicago Diner, we highlight our favorite vegan eateries in downtown Chicago. We even have a special shoutout to Pie Pie My Darling for their exceptional vegan bakery delights. And for those planning their next vegan food adventure, stay tuned as we prepare to explore Milwaukee's vegan scene, with an open call for your recommendations!
