Hi all,
I hope this is the right community lol.
I've just downloaded Cronometer and I've been playing with the app to see how I can improve my diet. I was recently told I'm pre diabetic and that was my trigger.
I've settled for a decent daily menu with all the nutrients I need and I'm quite happy with it, except the huge amount of fat that I can't get rid of. I'm currently standing on around 100 grams of fat on a 2000 calories diet, and I understand that's way too much.
I feel like every thing I eat is just full of fat. Some tahini on my salad at launch, boom 30 grams. Frying an onion when making dinner, boom another 30. Some walnuts for a snack, boom 30 more. Everyone says that I should eat nuts and seeds, legumes in every meal, chia and flax, but it adds up a lot.
I think my fat is pretty high quality, less than 20 grams of saturated fat and 0 trans fat.
Is it normal? Is it possible or recommended to reduce the amount of fat in vegan diet?
Thanks in advance.

This is the risotto that I make when I am almost out of fresh ingredients, but it still makes a fantastic one! Sun-dried tomatoes give it such a flavor punch!
