Your body needs fat in general, and it's super easy to overindulge on high fat foods like coconut, avocado, and nuts. Might as well be eating mayo out of the jar with a spoon in moderation.

And what book have you personally read on the matter? You probably get your info from shitty infographics that don't even cite research.

Its easy to overindulge on pretty much any food item. Vegetables are a rare exception because they have so little in calorie content and are generally packed with so much fiber you would just start to feel full very fast.

Pork is very healthy (and honestly probably better than chicken when done right) because you get an equal amount of protein AND healthy fats.

A regular 3.5oz porkchop generally hits for 24g protein, 4.5g Saturated fat, 5g Monounsaturated Fat, 2g Polyunsaturated Fat, and also contains a good amount of potassium and vitamin B. 230 calories

An equal portion of chicken contains about 30g of protein, less than 1g of all fats, a bit less potassium, and more vitamin B. It is also only about 165 calories.

Also contrary to popular belief, even saturated fats are important to a balanced diet.

But the ultimate takeaway from this topic is that especially if you want to lose weight, you need to weigh your fucking food and count the calories otherwise you'll never get anywhere
