I've already hit my calories, fat, protein, and (very low) carbs, but still have a gnawing hunger I can't seem to satisfy...I know calories count, but if I eat something else and stay on percentage how bad is it if I overeat on calories? New to all this so I'm still learning.

Eat more fat. Percentages don't matter. You are on target for both carbs and protein, and the point of fat is to eat to satiety. If you are new to eating this way, don't worry about calories right now.0

I also read online that I shouldn't eat more than half an avocado a day, how true is that?0

How big is your calorie deficit? I am rarely hungry, even eating as few as 1600 calories some days. At least 30g of protein per meal seems to be key for me.0

What is a good way to get just more fat in? Besides eating a stick of butter or plain avocado?0

If you are hungry, eat. No more carbs, if you are at your limit. But plenty of fat and protein. Just eat.0

Eat until you're full. Thats the AWESOME part of this way of eating.0

What's wrong with eating a stick of butter or plain avocado?0 -
I agree with dragonwolf. I love plain butter (my daughter does too
), plain avocado, cream off a spoon. Yummmm.
I you like tea/coffee put some cream/fats in it.0 -

Make fat bombs (sweet or savory bite-size snacks with high fat concentrations), fatty dips and sauces (pork rinds are good fat-filled vehicles for them), add a tbsp of butter or bacon fat to your veggies, snack on some hard cheeses, make a fatty smoothie with coconut oil and cream in it. And the lower-carb nuts are something fat dense to budget into your day. Check out the Recipe Site list in the Launch Pad to find some recipes or to get other ideas.0 -
All good ideas! Ended up eating cheese and walnuts, thanks for all the great suggestions!0

Jerry,
I peeked into your diary and it looks like you're eating too many carbs. Try to halve them.
For fat, try fat bombs. See links below my signature. I just made a batch of one of my favorites, Raspberry.
I hope this helps,

Don't forget to drink water, too! 100 oz a day should be your target, and that'll fill a belly for a little while and contribute to overall satiety.
But I'm with the "eat more fat" group. If my carbs are clocking relatively high, they'll make me hungrier, I've found. The lower my carb cap, the less of an insatiable food monster I am.0 -
