Pork and beef are both good for fats. So is chicken if you leave the skin on. Eggs are also a protien source that have a good deal of fat.You should also make sure to eat your veggies. Drizzle butter or olive oil over your veggies to raise the fat levels. Avacado and cream cheese are also good things to raise fat. Sign up for an account at www.fitday.com to track your fat/carb/protien ratios. It also helps to keep track of carbs. Find out how much protien you need personally. The basic math formula is .6-.9 times your lean weight. I was lazy and used the body fat calculator under resources on the web page www.zoneperfect.com I later read protien power and used thier guidlines instead which was lower. As long as you are getting adiquet for body, you can go over your required amount somewhat and not have much problem as protien only has a small effect on blood sugar. Some find though that in induction they get around 300 or more grams of protien a day, and that often can stall them.
