While incorporating 70% of your daily calories from healthy fats is important, we do not want you to get too caught up on actually counting calories. Remember that healthy fat calories are much higher than vegetable calories, so you can reach that 70% mark rather quickly. For example, one cup of diced avocado has 234 calories, while 1 cup of broccoli has 30 calories.
As long as you are incorporating good healthy fats into every meal, and following the 2-2-2 rule, then you will be fine. Remember not only does this account for raw nuts, avocados, wild caught fish and properly raised animal protein just to name a few, but also the healthy oils that you cook with, like avocado, olive, and coconut oil.
