Bacon?
Yep. And peanut butter, and eat more EFFECTIVE carbs, like spinach which has protein. Also, cheese. Be sure you are eating AT LEAST 1200 calories. Also, mayonnaise is your friend.0 -

I'm not doing full ketogenic diet, but this looks like a good resource: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1143-keto
If all else fails, I recommend spoonfulls of virgin coconut oil.0 -
REAL Butter! add 100cals to your eggs in the morning!, Mayo (hellmann's is good NO CARBS)/w a can of tuna, Avacado (great fat and good carb:fiber ratio) A slice of cheddar cheese!
Just add in healthy fats and you should get to at least 1200
Remember this is a LOW carb HiGH FAT so Fats are great and a serving can boost those cals up!!
Good luck!0 -
Various meats--beef, pork, lamb, chicken; eggs, avocado, cheese, full-fat yogurt, cook with butter and cream. Find some good recipes and cook from scratch; make larger batches and freeze portions for work lunches or "planned-overs".0
