I personally can't stand the taste of coconut oil in my coffee, so lately I've been trying MCT oil and/or butter in my coffee (you have to use a blender of some kind to make it frothy) to get a little more fat. Like u/Sunny_Bunny_ , it's been working as a substitute for breakfast and keeps me going until lunch. I use 1T of each. It also seems to level out the caffeine and make it "last" longer.
I found Crisco organic coconut oil which has no flavor at all. I hated coffee and the idea of any fat in a drink weirded me out so much...but I broke past my inhibitions and tried it. WOW! I started with lots of HWC (quarter cup) and lots of fake sugar (3T). Now I'm down to no HWC and only 1 tablespoon of sugar substitute in a 12 ounce cup of coffee with butter and coconut oil. I ran out of the Crisco brand with my cup this morning and the new coconut oil is a different brand. I'm interested to see if I like it too. I purchased it because it was a better bargain.1 -
Fat bombs. Sweet or Savory. Google with LCHF in front of it. I make some that are a jello-type that taste more like custard yogurt. I make a spicy sausage soup that could likely be adapted to fish. I make cheesecake types. I've made some with bacon, eggs, avocado, smoked salmon, cream cheese, etc. I make some that are kind of like a faux fudge or lemon squares. It's all about your preferences and if you have sweets problems.1

So what would be some other ways to increase fat for someone who doesn't eat meat (except occasionally salmon) and really does not care for coconut oil at all? I do eat a lot of nuts and olives, but it's getting kind of boring.
Refined coconut oil and also MCT oil has no coconut flavor or smell.3 -

I've seen the grocery lists for acceptable keto options but what I'd really like to see is a concise list of baking ingredients. I love to bake and really want to try some of the sweet fat bombs and other treats. What are some staple baking items?0

@RowdysLady staple baking items include sweetener, almond flour, coconut flour, xantham gum, nuts, maybe a cocoa powder or dark baking chocolate1

Use my veggies as a fat vehicle. If I'm having baby spinach, I will cook in Kerrygold and a dollop of full fat sour cream. Blue cheese works with raw veggies, Baked parm cheese crisps, pepperoni!0

I add olive oil to hummus and use sugar snap peas for dipping.0

I like Let's Do Organic coconut flakes...a serving has 2 net grams of carbs but also 10 grams of coconut oil in a tasty snack. you might like to try that, they are great lightly toasted, in extra coconut oil of course.0
