Avocado oil is a great monounsaturated fat. And I don't think you need the decimals on your calories, you'll drive yourself crazy trying to hit such specific macros.

I as told as a child to not eat fruit's that have pits because of the nut alergy, coconut has nut in the name but not to sure on that one.

Maybe you should talk to a doctor about exactly what you can and can't eat instead of guessing. You're being safe, but also cutting out a lot of great foods for possibly no reason.

“Coconut is not a botanical nut; it is classified as a fruit, even though the Food and Drug Administration recognizes coconut as a tree nut. While allergic reactions to coconut have been documented, most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut. If you are allergic to tree nuts, talk to your allergist before adding coconut to your diet."

i'm also allergic to ground nuts though coconuts are grown in a tree.

That's when it's a good idea to talk to your allergist.

I have a fatal food allergy to peanuts/nuts (especially pecans, peanuts, and walnuts), and I can have coconuts. I'm not saying that you should rush out and try it, but it is something to talk to an allergist to know.

Salmon is loaded with healthy fats; Sardines are also packed with those nice omegas (the same fats as eggs).

Bro, I feel your pain on the whole nut thing. Trying to be fit and not being able to eat nuts makes it a bit more challenging.

I used to hate fish until I started cooking it for myself. Try out some different flavour combinations. That "fishy" taste doesn't have to be there :).

Find a way to replace one of your carbs with pasta tossed in a few tablespoons of olive oil with some garlic powder, salt, and pepper on top.
