    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.

    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.

    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!

    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".
