Full fat options you can't live without?

I know when some people go on a weight loss journey, they cut out fat, or reduce fat in certain food items as part of it.
I recently rediscovered full fat feta (since I grabbed the wrong container at the store), and I'm wondering why I ever thought the fat free feta was a good idea. It's at least 29380234893 times better.

What are some full or larger fat % items you can't live without?

    Full fat milk. But I'd go one step further and include double-cream brie. Mmmm twice the fat!! I think the only thing where I genuinely prefer the "low fat" version is cottage cheese.

    I don't eat low-fat for fat loss, a lot of fatty foods I just don't like. I'm still eating 70g a day (give or take, sometimes way more) of fat.

    I've tried both full fat and no fat greek yogurt, they taste the same to me so I buy no-fat. I prefer part skim mozza because of the milder flavour. I guess the only full fat things I eat are pure fat sources (butter, oil) and peanut butter. Otherwise I prefer leaner cuts of meat as I trim it to 0" fat anyways, leaner ground meats, I started drinking skim milk as a kid and much prefer that if I do drink milk now.... yeah idk. I'm perfectly fine with eating more volume while still getting about 30% of my calories from fat!

    Fage Total full fat Greek yoghurt! However I do also use the 0% fat one also (though generally have to make sure I have something to mix in with it to sweeten it up a bit). Depends on my macros for the day as to which one I have. But the full fat one is delicious.

    Usually Fage Total Greek yogurt (and full-fat yogurt in general--so much more satisfying!), but I've switched to 2% to help me get more protein. The idea of reduced-fat or nonfat cheese boggles my mind. And I much prefer full-fat cottage cheese--the lower fat (and especially fat free) always seems like it has a metallic taste or something? I :love: fat!

    Fage greek yogurt, Butter, Cheese. I don't eat anything low fat except semi skimmed milk my mum switch to that when I was young so full fat is too creamy.

    I don't eat low-fat or non-fat anything. Whole milk, full-fat yogurt and cheese and sour cream for me.

    steak and cheese and milk.

    well- I"m a 2% milk person- but I can't do less than that.

    same with cheese- who the *kitten* invented low fat cheese. seriously- they need to be shot.

    I am the same with the Feta. I used to buy the low fat or no fat version and I compared the labels once and it wasn't a huge difference. Also I was a skim milk girl, then switched to 1% and now I get raw milk from a farm that is a billion times better than anything you could ever get at a store.

    I don't skimp on my butter or my cheese either.

    I'm a bit surprised by people saying butter or oil. What would low fat butter be?

    Anyway, full fat sour cream for me.
    I can deal with light cheese and yogurt, and don't drink milk, but sour cream is sacred.

    I'm ok with half fat cheese, sour cream etc. But! I can't have reduced fat peanut butter. It has to be natural or none at all.

    That's the brand I usually buy, it's basically watered down butter with some vegetable oil. It sounds bad but I don't mind the taste at all.
