Craving ribs? Try avocadoIf you feel like dining on ribs or pork sausages, chances are your taste buds would be happy with something else that is fatty, so go for plant foods that are loaded with fat, such as avocados (13 grams of fat in 1/2 avocado) or macadamia nuts (a whopping 21 grams of fat in a 1 oz. serving—more than ribs). The good news is that fats found in plants are healthy and unsaturated.
