I'm a guy, but I'll bet there are women for whom this is true also. I eat low fat but with almost no junk carbs, and I'm 8-9% body fat (and fairly muscular). Frankly, I'd worry about all the animal fat you're eating. Not because of the saturated fat, but because of the dioxins, PCB's and other organochlorine poisons that they contain. We've screwed our environment so badly that our ocean fish are contaminated with mercury and our land animals (and fresh-water fish) are contaminated with dioxins. Fresh-water fish are the most contaminated foods, butter is next, followed by meats and then vegetable foods. Look it up and cry.

"Sorry darling, but that's m-y-y-y-y frittata. Looking at this food has made me very hungry. I think I'll try the heirloom tomato and watermelon salad. (In the voice of Homer Simpson) mmmmmm...Heirloom tomato salad and watermelon salad. Frittata just kind of sounds snobby to me.
