High fat content foods

[Ms Blue]

Hi, I am struggling right now, I have read and reread the book and there are a couple of things I am just not getting. I hear people here talk about grabbing a high fat snack before bed and/or as they dash out the door. I need several suggestions on what those high fat foods things might be. I can easily identify carbs and proteins but am struggling with fats. Anyone with some practical suggestions please? btw, still on induction

You can work out which of the foods you like to eat are higher fat content than others by using www.fitday.com. Just enter the food and see what the figures work out as.

You might try a slice of ham/turkey wrapped around cream cheese for a quick high fat snack. Even better if you put it in the microwave for a bit to soften the cheese.

I eat one or two ounces of cream cheese in the middle of the night almost every night. Usually all by itself, but sometimes I put it on a cucumber slice or small piece of celery. Another quick high fat snack that I like is 1/4 cup of macadamia nuts. Another one of my favorites is a slice of leftover pot roast spread with some mayo and maybe wrapped with a large leaf of lettuce.

Good advice being given here - but just remember that nuts are not on the allowed foods list for induction
