OMG! Never thought of making them for myself. What a fabulous idea. DUH!
Yeah there are so many recipes for alternates out there. I generally avoid the ones that call for a lot of alternate flours, as my carb issue isn't solved by slightly lower carb items. But for others, it works fine.

Decent recipe, 1g net per cracker it appears. That's NOT 1.6g total per 15 crackers. I bet there's a better recipe out there that's more cheese and less flour-y. Shredded cheese piles with a mix of cream cheese and an egg seems good enough for me. Maybe find a dough recipe, then just use a bottle cap or similar size and cut out circles from the dough, like you'd do when making biscuits or doughnut holes.
Hope these ideas help

Carbs and Fat are a limit, protein is your goal. That's what I read and it really made sense. I try and hit my protein numbers, and then do a fat bomb if I am actually hungry and in need of some fat outside of my main meals.
I could be totally wrong, as I've been winging it on keto since July. But it's working pretty well so far with exercise.
I lost a ton of my weight while planning my day in my 20% deficit to all my macros, where I would drink the fatbombs if I wasn't hungry to make sure I got enough fat. I'm not sure if the "too much protein, not enough fat" kicks you from ketosis, and it certainly may be true, but I find that I don't normally need 30-40g more of fat after I hit my current goals.
As for things that you can do to increase fat: My fatbomb is lazy. It's 1tbsp butter, 1-2tbsp coconut oil, 200ml almond milk (1 cup is 240ml), and I melt the butter and coconut oil, then pour it into the milk, and drink. It's not pleasant, but it sure does work when I need fuel and I am hungry. Most of the time I need to do this, I have some coffee with it. In the mornings for a while I was doing this with my 150ml of my muscle milk, as it sweetened the bland coffee.
Heavy cream, avocados, half and half. They're all good sources of fat. You could try making a avocado smoothie?
Anywho, I bet there are people here that can correct any misinformation I may have inadvertantly given. But this is what has worked for me, and I'm doing pretty well. Almost to 70lbs down today, and that's with my heavy carb test in early november, and then thanksgiving, basically making that month a long term test of recovery without any major loss (6-8lbs total loss for november, so not bad).1
