    This works best for me too. I think I'm set at 50f/30p/20c. Have never been happier. A load of other digestion issues have resolved as well as getting tighter (reducing bloat) and losing weight. It really he to each their own.




    Some people do well (myself) on a higher fat diet. My current ratios are 10% carb, 40% protein, and 50% fat. This is when I lose the best and feel the best. Everyone has to find their own best balance. Mother's milk is 54% saturated fat. Mother nature wants me to eat fat. :)

    wow. haven't seen these fat ratios before. pretty high.
    But whatever is working for you.

    Fried egg over steak, onions & peppers
    In-n-Out double double animal style protein style
    Stir fry no rice
    Fried egg over cream cheese & bacon spinach
    Shredded beef tacos in cabbage
    Egg salad in romaine leaves topped with bacon

    Me too! Feeling GREAT and lost a few lbs since going high fat, low carb. The book, "Grain Brain" inspired me to try a ketogenic diet and I feel better than I have in a long time. :-)

    Eat a salad with a homemade salad dressing of olive oil and red wine vinegar and whatever spices you want,

    130 calories for two tablespoons and the salad next to nothing calories depending on what you put in it.

    But it's high on nutrition and high in fat and no or low carb depending on what you eat in the salad.

    I live off of this and MFP always tells me I am getting too much fat, but it works for me. It's a low calorie food and it's very filling.

    Sour cream, cheese, and nuts aren't high in carbs. They're staples on a ketogenic (low carb high fat) diet. Learn to read your nutritional labels, friend. 1-2g of carbs per serving is about what those run. I eat <5% carbs daily and often eat cheese and nuts.

    Your body doesn't need dietary carbs.

    They are beneficial in small quantities as they are a good source of micro nutrients and soluble fibre (although if you are eating mainly veg based carbs, you do not need that much to get what you need.

    I personally eat about 10 - 20% carbs, mainly from veggies.

    Can anyone give me some examples of high fat low carb foods??? I have redone my diet ratios and am going to try low carb ( about 100grams a day) I am not having a problem with adding protein but I cant seem to find many high fat foods that also have low calories. I am waaayyyyyy low on my fat grams every day. Please feel free to look at my diary. Any suggestions will help

    peanut butter... always the answer, whatever the question!

    What is the dealio with PB?

    My wife is hooked on the stuff. A jar doesn't last more than a couple of days in our house - she just eats it off the spoon.

    Personally I haven't eaten the stuff in over 2 years! Tastes okay but it's just weird the way it clings to the roof of the mouth.

    its delicious!!! i go through phases with it, i'll have a few days of eating it by the spoonful (trying my best to cram it into my cals and macros!!!), and then i can leave it for weeks at a time....

    as far as high calorie high fat, but not a lot of volumn so you dont feel full from it, its a winner!!!

    Higher fat foods have higher cals compared to carbs, proteins. 9 cals per gram of fat 4 per each pro/carb

    This. I was going to say "High fat, low cal foods? Those don't exist... They can't exist."

    Of course. But the OP wasn't looking for low calorie fats.

    It kinda does sound like she's looking for low calorie fat
    I cant seem to find many high fat foods that also have low calories.

    Coconut oil, heavy whipping cream, butter (Kerrygold is amazeballs), olive oil. Try putting heavy whipping cream, butter, and coconut oil in your morning coffee or tea. Lately I've been loving Tazo chai tea with 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp coconut oil, 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream, and 4 drops of Ez Sweetz liquid sweetener blended together. Delicious and keeps me full all day!

    Sweet or Salty snacks - Low Carb, High Fat

    Believe it or not, while they might not be the best choice, Pork Skins/Pork Rinds, provide 9g Protein, no carbs and 5g of fat per serving with 4 servings in a 2 oz bag. For a sweet treat, heavy cream, almond milk (I use unsweetened), vanilla, 1 packet of stevia and some ice in a blender. I have also, made this is with decaf coffee or unsweetened chocolate. I have found a little of either from time to time helps to beat the cravings while sticking with the keto goals.

    I am a vegetarian on a low carb diet. I also exercise so the only way I have found to manage my energy level is eating more fat. I eat almonds and a little dairy, but not enough to get enough fat in. I now eat fat bombs and they have helped so much, and they have accelerated my fat loss. The one I had today is coconut oil, ghee, cream cheese, lemon juice, and easy sweetz. Fat bombs are great and some people swear by bulletproof coffee.

    I am only getting about 20-25 grams of fat a day. I need more to balance out my diet

    That's pretty low, I'd try to at least double it (for joint health, brain function, hormone production etc). Problem is you won't find any high fat low cal foods - you just need to make allowances for those calories.

    Bacon
    Eggs
    Cheese
    Peanut butter
    Hummus
    Olive/coconut/flax oil etc
    Butter
    Cream
    Oily fish

    All the good stuff :) I also have 5 omega 3 capsules a dat which helps.
