  • How to get enough fat

    I am having a really hard time getting my 65% fat.
    Considering I am on extended induction and my food choices are limited in regards to fat, what are some creative ways you can get up to the 65% mark.
    I have been averaging 60%.
    Thanks for the help

    Hi:

    I use olive oil, extra virgin. I'll drink it straigt up, at times, and use it as balast.

          Butter, butter, butter, butter, butter!!! Yeah, there are POUNDS of butter in my fridge. I slather veggies with it. I add it to my pumpkin. I also add heavy whipping cream to my pumpkin to fatten it up a bit and add some calories. Your salad dressing should have a nice amount of fat. I only use extra virgin olive oil for frying something up. I throw Hellman's mayo liberally into my tuna or boiled eggs. I've never had to stretch too much to squeeze in the fat. If I don't get enough, I don't lose as much. That's all the motivation I need to eat it up. If you've ever considered eating coconut oil, it's loaded with fat too! So many ways and only so much per day!

            60 is not bad. Avocado is a great source of fat and so it olives if you like those. Using dressings and mayo also works well.

                Sometimes I just take a spoonful of coconut oil plain if I don't think I'm eating enough fat. I use it for cooking, too. The virgin unrefined coconut oil tastes best if you are consuming it straight up. Sometimes the refined is better for higher temperature cooking.
