If you open up your diary, it would be easier to see where you could use some help. I eat close to 150 grams of fat a day, and am 5'10" and weight 158 lbs, just to give you an idea. Your fats should be at least 60% of your daily calories. Keep in mind that a gram of fat equals 9 calories, so even though it seems like a lot, it should be relatively easy to eat fats. Carbs and protein are 4 calories per gram.

Do you like fish? If so, get the Starkist Selects tuna in olive oil and eat it all without draining it. That's a healthy dose of fat. Other fats for me come from olives, olive oil (salads, for cold use only), avocados, cheese, butter or ghee, coconut oil, beef tallow (cooking fat that you can render yourself), and nuts.

Favorite go-to foods are usually tuna, salmon, and grassfed beef/bison burgers.

Pressure cooking a whole chicken takes less than a 1/2 hour, once it's at full pressure and rocking.

Yes definitely try to up your fats. It sounds like you might be fat adapted at this point but if you're denying your body fats, it's confused as to what energy source it needs to use. When fat adaptation happens (around 3 weeks), your body switches from using glycogen to using fat to run your engine. If you decrease your fats, you'll struggle with it and most likely plateau. I know how scary it can be. The way I had to look at it in the beginning was that I was going to try it for a few weeks, see if I gained or lost, and how I felt and if it didn't work, I could always go back. Do you know how to change your macros?

I just upped my calories to 1500 - 15% carbs; 25% protein and 65% fats. I also try to focus on getting less than 50g carbs and 25g sugar. (not always sucessful!) So far, so good.

To change your macros, go to the My Home tab above, then the goals tab, then "custom."

60% fat! I woulda never guessed that high!
