Tips to keep fat count up please
 

Im having a hard time keeping my fat at 80% (I hope im supposed to be at 80%). Just curious what everyone does to eat good fat. Dont think I can handle drinking oil :D I do some cream cheese and various fattydeli meats (made sure not cured with sugar) but I feel its still kind of low.

Here is my fitday:

Thanks for looking.

Add butter, olive oil, mayo to items.

By the way- Where are your veggies??

70-80% is a good ratio. Try adding mayo, butter, olive oil, or salad dressing to almost anything. Cream cheese and heavy cream are good also. Things like tuna salad or chicken salad are really mayo-heavy, and nicely fattening.

i love to have mayo with my scrambled eggs in the morning.. but lately i have been questioning this, wondering if i am getting to much fat from it, i cook with olive oil and butter and use mayo on somethings, is it possible to get too much fat? i'm losing pretty well and i feel awesome like i am on some sort of drug or something lol but people sometimes make me question the way i eat hehehehe

I pour heavy cream over strawberries to add fat. :) Macadamia nuts are higher in fat also.

You should be eating at least three cups of veggies a day and when eating them its easy to up the fats up somewhat with salad dressings, butter or olive oil. Also having real cream in tea and coffee are another easy way to slip in some extra fat.

:D :D

I do eat veggies... Just not yet today. If you look at my past days (not sure you can with the link) you will see I eat salad and misc veggies every day.

In an hour or so I will heat a salad with Oil and Vinegar on it. Then for dinner I will have broccoli and another veggie.



I just had a chicken breast for lunch.. Mayo would have been perfect.. :)

THanks for the suggestions.

When you say real cream... do you mean Heavy whipping cream?

I use the stuff in a little milk cantainer and says coffee creamer on it.

Avocados are excellent sources of healthy fats and fiber. :thup:

I love Avocados... Can I eat them on induction???

As for the cream, look for heavy cream, with the only ingredient being cream. :thup:

1/2 an avocado per day is legal on induction, so enjoy! :D

JamesG, forgive if I sound smug, but have you read the nutritional info on powdered creamer?

I use heavy cream or half and half, because of the above info and carbs and sugars.

However, sometimes I still feel guilty about the amount of fat. . .and also the calories jump up there quickly with the fat.

But I harken back to the plan.

No No No... I agree with you on the powder stuff... What I drink is a liquid coffee cream (not creamer). Ingredients: Milk, Cream, Disodium Phosphate, Sodium Citrate. 1 serving has < 1gram of carbs and is 1TBS.



Thanks beans for the info on the avacado... looks like its back on the menu. :)

I always have butter with my meat and dip the bites in it. It's really good.

I think I'll start adding mayo to the scrambled eggs too. I never thought about that but I love mayo just never figured out what I could eat it with now.

I was eating a half an avacado a day but one week when I didn't lose any weight I came to this board to complain. Somebody told me it was probably the avacado causing a stall and that I shouldn't be having it on induction anyway... So--different opinions I guess.

I take 2-3 tblsp of coconut oil each day. It helps keep my fat ratio up.

If you are drinking protein shakes, you can slip a tablespoon of oil in there, too. I use sweet almond oil and it even tastes good. :) Another trick is to get really good coconut milk (no added water or nitrates) and add that to coffee or other beverages. I also take Udo's oil (for omega balance) and that's another two tablespoons of oil per day.

Salmon and other fattie rfish. Olive oil drizzled over salads or used in cooking. Coconut oil. jMayo, it can be a great omlette filler. An omlette made with spinach (drained really well and pressed) mixed with mayo is a great breakfast.

WOW!.. Thanks everyone for the great ideas. I especially like the coconut milk... gonna have to look for it.

Thanks again.

Great ideas... I may kidnap some!
