I have been doing meal plans for about 6 months now (with the help of a trainer) and just recently started creating my own. I am counting macros/flexible dieting. Although I do flexible dieting I still eat a nutrient rich diet each day, but I am struggling to get my fats in. What do you all use for fats besides cheese, avocado and nuts??

Thank you in advance! :)

    Yogurt, 9% is what I buy, butter, olive oil when cooking. And of course, bacon.

    I was doing really well, but I have started doing some reverse dieting after a long road of low calories to lose body fat. I now want to increase my calories while counting macros in order to get to my maintenance! I thought about starting to cook with olive oil again. I am currently using the olive oil spray with 0 everything, so that may help! BACON I love bacon!! ha ha.

    Well thank you for your reply.

    Besides nuts and pb, olive oil is my primary source. I cook most of my food in it and use it to dress salads and sandwiches.

    There is no such thing as 0 calorie oil sprays. It's only 0 calorie er serving, which means < 1/2 calorie per serving, which is often only 1 spray.

    Full fat dairy, eggs, salmon, beef, pork, lamb, peanut butter, avocado, nuts, seeds, the odd sausage roll, doughnut or bowl of ice cream won't hurt either!

    Olive oil has a lot of calories, so it's a lie that the spray is 0 cal. Also, those sprays are loaded with junk. Just use a spray bottle with your own olive oil in it (Misto sprayer).

    Olive oil, coconut oil, butter. Olives. Lowfat dairy, and occasionally full fat dairy. Eggs. Meat (including fish).

    I like yogurt and coconut oil for something different.

    Fats are never a problem for me: olive oil, sockeye salmon (lox or gravlax), cheese, peanut butter, nuts, eggs, butter, yogurt.
