High Fat diet

I'm not trying to do paleo or any other carb cycle or anything like that. I have considered it and feel the it is unattainable (RIGHT NOW) not to say that I would not give these a try in the future.

I read a little bit about ketosis... and i'm not aiming for that either. I guess - from someone on basic "healthy" lifestyle - having a high fat diet is okay???

I should be eating cheese and olive oil? It's not going to kill me???

This is better than fast food!! I'm not ready to give up bread - there - I admit it. I'm just not going to right now.

Your ratios are off. If you refuse to reduce your carb to fat intake you won't lose weight. Your already running a large glycogen surplus at 1490cals a day unless your doing serious exercise. No you cannot have a high fat diet unless you balance it out by giving up something. As I mentioned carbs being the easiest. I would do some research and educate yourself on balancing your ratios.

Protein is the macro you want the most of, honestly go 40/30/30. Those are my macros and I find I get enough fat to be sated, very sustainable over the long term. I recommend exercise as well if you don't already, cardio and strength training.

The talk about eating too many carbs or your carb-to-fat ratio is crankery / extremism / zealotry. If you haven't personally chosen a low-carb plan or been told by a doctor you have a specific medical condition requiring you to go low-carb, it's perfectly safe to ignore it.

Also, <1500 calories per day is NOT eating too much to lose weight, especially given that your profile suggests your goal is to lose quite a lot of weight over the long term, so your BMR and TDEE are likely quite high. Frankly, suggesting you should eat less is craziness. I eat 1900 per day, been at this over a year, and metabolic slowdown be damned but I STILL lose 2 lbs a week -- though I do exercise quite a bit. If you're measuring your portions accurately and logging faithfully your target is not too high. (With the caveat that people who don't measure their portions properly may very well be eating more than they think -- it's easy to do -- and might as well target less for a cushion).

Regarding what you're eating. It looks to me like your fat intake was fine until the last few days. It's a ::little:: higher than the conventional advice generally suggests, and again that conventional advice suggests that less of your fat should be coming from full-fat dairy because cheese and half-and-half have higher amounts of saturated fat. There's some recent research questioning whether saturated fat is really bad for you, but I think that research raises (good) questions rather than comes down firmly proving that you can eat butter by the stick etc. without consequence. You could make some changes by eating a bit less cheese (note that I'm not saying "stop eating cheese." Cheese is delicious and good for you in moderation. Eat it! Just less maybe). Judging by your diary you're not a "clean eating" zealot so I'll also suggest nonfat creamer instead of half and half. The creamer alone would make a big difference in bringing that marginal extra fat down (half and half is contributing 10 grams of fat to your diet every day, which is like 12% of your fat total. That's a lot. ) and would help you with saturated fat. Do that and seriously? Bang, you're done.

Ultimately calories matter more than macros. And while you'll want to get good nutrition -- particularly while eating at a deficit -- you'll know best what kind of food makes your body feel good; everybody is different. I'm of a generation that was trained to avoid fats religiously, and I had to LEARN that eating a little more fat made my body feel better. It's very easy for me, when I'm dieting, to make the mistake of eating way too little fat, and that makes me feel like crap. For me, getting 25-30% of my calories from fat seems to be the sweet spot, which turns out to be in line with the conventional medical wisdom.

But if you are finding that being more active is "making you crave" fat, you might want to question that. Intense exercise -- for most people -- is more likely to cause carb cravings because exercise tends to burn away your body's very limited carb stores really fast. For many other people -- including myself -- exercise makes their bodies demand MOAR PROTEINS instead. When I started exercising more I learned upon experimentation that adding more protein to my diet made me feel tons better (less muscle soreness, more endurance, general better sense of wellbeing). I've never actually heard of exercising making someone specifically crave fats -- is it possible it just makes you HONGRY and you happen to like fatty foods so that's what you put in your mouth first? Because if that's the case you might just want to make an effort to explore new foods that are a bit healthier and better at helping you meet your nutritional goals than pirate's booty and corn chips. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of indulgences like that, but you might want to get your overall nutrition lined up first.

One of the weirdly great things about long-term dieting for me was learning to experiment. I ended up discovering foods I'd never tried before but learned to love (why, hello, roasted chickpeas!). There are a lot of tips floating around the forums for snacks that are high in protein and/or fiber, that are extremely satiating, good for post-workout, whatever.
