Oh, and I'd also love tips on how to incorporate fats into your meals. I've tried adding additional oil/butter to say a steak when I'm cooking it, but I'm not sure how much of that I actually end up eating.

Hi Bunny,
MUFAS (monounsaturated fats) are a extremely healthy way to get fats into your woe. As in Olive oil as Brian mentioned there's also canola oil and dressings made with flaxseed oil. Ten to 20 olives a day are a good MUFA aswell as a 1/2 of an avacado. Nuts and seeds, if you're in that Rung are a healthy Monounsaturated fat. Eating salmon is a good way to get Omega-3 fatty acids in, aswell as mackerel or herring. Virgin coconut oil is another great oil to cook with or use in recipes. Cocoa or chocolate is a good MUFA.
If I think of any more I'll be back.

I sometimes put unsalted butter in my decaf coffee if i think im not getting enough fat. Doesn't change the taste.

Re: Ways to get fat in your diet?

I buy cheaper pieces of meat that often have more fat. I use generous amounts of olive oil when I fry something. I add an ounce or so of heavy cream to my omelet. Call me a little strange, but I like butter and cream straight up, so I grab a pat of the former and a swig of the latter from time to time.

I found a delicious recipe they call clouds

Mix Softened butter, cream cheese, and a little dash of splenda.
Spoon into balls and freeze or fridge, it's like a type of cheesecake.

Flavored butter. Soften a stick of butter by letting it stay out in room temperature. Put it into a bowl and mix it until creamy. Then flavor it with herbs and spices. Put the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Put in the freezer. Divide the butter log into 8 pieces. Each piece is a tablespoon of butter. You can use that flavored butter as a "ready-sauce" for meats. To a piece of hot meat, like a grilled steak, put on the butter. The butter will melt, forming a sauce into which you can dip your meat slices----that's what they do at many upscale steak houses.
