I have really been focusing on my macros, which are set at 40/30/30, the last few days. I am trying hard to get close but I am finding I am low on fat everyday. Ideas? I am looking for actual foods to work in, not just eat a T. of butter or coconut oil : )

    I don't know what you are eating now, but how about: whole eggs, nuts, avocado, olive oil, butter on your veggies (fat helps you absorb the fat soluble vitamins in greens), full fat dairy?

    avocado
    oils (extra virgin olive, coconut, flaxseed..etc)
    different nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews..etc)
    different seeds (hemp, chia, flax, pumpkin)
    hummus
    nut butters
    higher fat milks for smoothies (hemp, soy, coconut)

    I had a pack of Wholly Guac and a T. of butter on my artichoke yesterday and STILL didn't hit it! Any other really fatty foods other than straight oils?

    eggs
    avocados
    fish
    olives
    olive oil in place of salad dressing
    peanut butter
    real butter from pastured cows (higher Omega 3's)
    higher fat milk

    btw, you are doing really great :)

    My diet tends to be fairly high in fat, but here's what I had:

    B: whole egg scrambled with two egg yolks (typically two whole eggs, but I had some yolks leftover from something else). I added a T of pesto to that and had a couple cups of coffee with about 1/2 c of whole milk

    L: 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt with strawberries and a peach

    S: crackers with butter and chopped chicken liver (I'm kinda weird, but I love this)

    D: beef fajitas with guacamole from half an avocado and some Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream)

    1400-ish calories, lots of fat (including saturated, which isn't something I avoid)
