Yum Garlic Butter - I love garlic and butter, not sure how to make it though - I am a typical male! Helpless at this kinda making food thing

You need to up your fats, maybe eat some higher fat cuts of meats,ie ground beef, red meats pork chops etc, fry in oil, add some cheese to your omlette (don't over do it), what about salads? the dressings will raise your fats.

Seeing that you said 'tiny bit of olive oil' it seems like you are trying to low fat atkins? It will not work if you try to do it low fat.

garlic butter

crush 1 clove of garlic (more or less depending how much you like garlic) and just mix it into your butter its nice on veg to :icondance

how about a nice fatty steak fryed in butter with lots of pepper when the steak is cooked take it out and add some cream to the steak juices pepper and butter for a nice creamy pepper sauce.

try the mock danish. Bacon and sausages will add fat. Ranch dressing. Heavy cream. spazzyhilo posted a recipe for a cream cheese sauce that is good.

I eat a half of avocado almost every morning. It helps get my fat ratio up and it also suppresses my appetite.

not only did you get quick replies, but some excellent suggestions. I would add that you can drizzle cocanut oil over your salad or use olive oil and vinegar for a salad dressing.

Oh yes.. and addicting too!


1 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 chicken boullion cube

heat till all melted together, you don't have to wait for the boullion cube to break down all the way (I'd think I'd grow old waiting for that thing...) and pout it over your meat. It's great with chicken and asparagus

You can even sautee mushrooms first then add the rest of the ingredients on top of it - soo good!

Thank you all for your guidance

I have just got myself a nice Fillet steak and am gonna cook it in a lot of Garlic Butter and Olive oil

Appreciate all the help
