Any information on high fat, low cal/carb options would be amazing.

    You can't really do high fat/low cal at the same time because fat has almost twice as many calories per gram as carbs and protein. The closest I can think of is something like nut butter on celery, because celery is mostly water and fibre and thus is "heavy" enough to help stretch out the fat calories over a bigger weight total (of food).

    I'm dealing with trying to up my fats and I've been looking for foods that have a good fat:calorie ratio to add to my diet.

    I've come up with:
    - Avocado
    - Hard boiled eggs
    - Hummus (different brands are different, I love this one from Whole Foods that is called Cava Mezze)
    - Almonds - 100 calorie bags
    - Nut butters
    - Full fat yogurt - plain ones will yield you the most fat for the fewest calories because you don't have the calories from sugars
    - Goat cheese
    - Turkey bacon


    Hope that helps! I've found that fat definitely keeps you full so more calorie dense foods like the above are filling even if they look smaller in volume....
