    Fat contains 9 calories per gram. This is over twice as much as protein or carbohydrates, so there is no such thing as a food that is high in fat and low in Calories.

    True as-is, but you can have a food that has a high percentage of fat while being low in carbs and/or protein.

    The following site allows you to search for foods that are 'high/low' in a given macro/micro while also being 'low/high' in another:

    The whole point of keto is to focus on the percentage of your macros and ignore calories..............

    This terrible advice is exactly why so many people get in trouble of keto diets.

    Over-eating is over-eating, no matter what the macros. Low-carb/Paleo/Primal forums are full to the rafters of people who don't understand why they are gaining weight while eating "healthy".

    To the OP - high fat foods are by definition high calorie foods.

    OP, I don't follow the keto plan but my carbs are low enough I'm often in ketosis. My diary is open if you want to take a look. If you open your diary people can take a look at the types of foods you like to eat and maybe offer some suggestions that are more keto friendly than what you've been eating.
