[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1744918, member: 41816"] Hi [USER=208503]@cdpm[/USER] You probably know this already, but I am just double checking, because there are always people reading the forum who don’t realise. But we don’t have to eat masses and masses of fat to hit keto macros. For instance, belly pork has got just about the perfect balance of fat and protein. Likewise something like a steak with some marbled fat. No need to add extra fat. We are looking for the % of fat in calories, not as a % of the food. Apologies if you knew this already, but sometimes people think that they need to eat 75% fat on the plate, rather than 75% of the calories as fat. Fat has so many calories in it that we often don’t need to do more than eat it reasonably, not excessively. So you can get your macros from a few strawberries served with a dash of cream. Doesn’t have to be a lake of cream. Or 15% fat minced beef with a few veg on the side, and maybe a sprinkle of grated cheese. No need for grease everywhere. Fat bombs are great, but they aren’t obligatory. I wouldn’t try to force more fat. Just eat minimum carbs, moderate protein, and then make sure you have enough fats that you feel comfortably satisfied. Not stuffed. Not hungry too soon. Just comfortable. [/QUOTE]
