Most processed foods are all made with the girl-friendly "unhealthy" fats, since they are cheaper. If you're eating processed food then you shouldn't have to worry about it and just look at your overall calories, protein, fat numbers and make sure they're in line with the LE amounts.
If you're cooking at home, then just switch to using vegetable oil, canola oil, and margarine instead of butter, coconut oil, and olive oil. Switch from healthy fatty fish like salmon, to white fish. And don't eat a ton of avocados or nuts, which have lots of healthy fats as well.Me: 35 years old. Was an infant nanny and birth and postpartum doula. Now a full time SAHM.

Not sure what more I can add to this. Could you elaborate what more you were looking for so I could make the essay better?
FATS that probably sway pink:
Soy foods and soy oil (soy milk for your husband is a good idea)
Vegetable oil (this is usually mostly soy oil)
Corn oil
Safflower and cottonseed oil (dude these things are not even food!! Great for pink )
Canola oil (while this has a reputation for being healthy, it’s highly processed and may contain toxins that are harmful to fertility)
Margarine (watch out for those fortified with Omega 3 fats!!)
Shortening (aka Crisco or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil)
Palm oil (JUST palm oil or fractionated palm oil, when listed on cheap baked goods, is almost always cheap palm KERNEL oil and not actually the oil from the palm fruit, which sways blue and should be avoided. I would not buy or use palm kernel oil for your sway, the production of cheap palm oil is driving orangutans into extinction and there are tons of cheaper options. This is just if you happen to see it on a label of something you are eating.)
Sunflower seeds or oil, tahini and sesame seeds and oil (in small amounts are fine!)
Nuts in small amounts are also fine!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Great list from atomic, and keep in mind, if your only options are butter vs olive oil, go for the OO. If it's coconut oil vs butter, go for the CO. Sometimes you won't have a super pink friendly option available if you're eating out or at a friend's house, so in those cases, going for the less blue friendly choice is still going to sway. Don't worry about being perfect, just try to make pink/less-blue choices whenever you have the opportunity. It may seem overwhelming at first but it will become habit if you stick with it.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

but just wanted to mention I did eat butter when TTC my daughter - just as a lower % of my diet than normal. (I can't stand margarine!!)

Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
