Hi All,

So I'm fairly new to paleo (working on week 2 now!) and am finding that I am meeting my protein requirements, overall I'm either right under or barely over for my carbs/sugar but am struggling to get enough fat in (I do cook my meats/veg/eggs with either butter or coconut oil but that's just not enough)

What are some of your favourite paleo snacks with a high fat content?

Thanks everyone; have a great day!

    FAT BOMBS!!
    Google them,there are too many to mention.
    I make ones with coconut oil,coconut butter,raw coconut,nut butter and small amount of cream cheese.
    They are amazing and really good if u need a fat snack

    Avocado, boiled eggs, bulletproof coffee (in the morning only), uncured pepperoni, and sometimes just a straight spoonful of coconut oil.

    I'm partial to avocados & hard boiled eggs. But mark just posted this awesome treat, which definitely would meet the fatty snack category!

    Homemade chicken liver pate

    250g chicken livers
    80g grass fed butter or beef dripping
    2-4 tablespoons stock

    Saute chicken livers in butter or dripping until cooked through. Tip whole panful into food processor and add tbsp stock. Blitz throughly. Add more stock (or cream if you prefer) if needed. Push mixture through a sieve to remove bits. Store in bowl/container in fridge. Take out of fridge to soften before eating.
    Nice variation is to line 3-4 mini loaf tins with streaky bacon, fill with pate, fold bacon over the top, cover with foil and cook in a bain marie in the oven at around 140c for an hour or so.

    Same as pretty much everyone mentioned: boiled eggs, cheese (if you do dairy), bacon, avocados, nuts, nut butters, COCONUT BUTTER! 85% dark chocolate (darker=less carbs, more fat). coconut cream in my coffee.
