    Eggs - the whole egg. Almonds (and some other nuts). Cheese is actually a good source of fat, as well as some other dairy products like whole fat yogurt.

    Forgot about whole fat yogurt. dur. Also full fat cottage cheese is A-Mazing! I will never go back to fat free.

    It's going to be difficult if you look for foods that are just one macro; most foods have a mix - balance them. Hitting MFP's default macro split isn't difficult, because it is a good balance. Have you adjusted your macros? To what? Why?
