Need more fat!

I'm doing the atkins diet and I need to eat more fats. I find that at the end of the day, I haven't reached my fat goal (unless I'm eating straight coconut oil or something). What are some low-carb, low-protein, high-fat options?

    Butter - my son used to slice it and eat it like cheese
    High-Fat Cheese like Havarti
    Nuts
    Avocado

    For instance, what I plan to eat today is:

    2 Sweet Italian Chicken Sausages - 24 grams of fat - 34 grams protein
    Salmon fillet - 5 grams fat - 49 grams protein

    I have 500 calories left for the day, and I want to devote them mainly to fats and low carb vegetables

    Pour the melted butter over a big pile of vegetables, with a bit of pepper.

    I can't imagine eating butter raw. The rest sound great though

    I'm on the keto diet and doing 75% fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs.
    My fats are usually in the form of:
    Heavy Whipping Cream
    Cheese
    Mayonnaise (no sugar added - Trader Joe's has a good one)
    Butter
    Bacon grease
    Macadamia nut oil
    Coconut oil

    When I make spinach, I mix a couple tablespoons of olive oil in and some garlic powder.
    When I make broccoli, I double-fat it with both butter AND cheese.
    If I'm at the end of the day and I'm somehow low on both protein AND fat, I make a fat bomb shake with protein powder + added macadamia nut oil and flax oil.
    Sometimes I make the most disgusting "sandwich" ever with 2 slices of cheddar + a tablespoon of mayonnaise. I feel like I'm 8 years old again. >_>

    Try googling keto fat bomb recipes. There are a bunch out there that involve coconut oil + various delicious additives.

    Oh yeah, regarding eating butter as a snack...
    Get yourself a block of Kerrygold butter. I have been seriously tempted to eat that as a snack. It has such an amazing creamy taste. I believe there was a whole thread devoted to how awesome it was at one point.
    I made some cream cheese + Kerrygold butter frosting once with some vanilla and stevia added. Was planning on making it 2 servings...then I accidentally the whole bowl. >_>

    Wow, I'll try that! Thanks!

    Today I made an awesome treat using

    2 tbsp coconut oil
    2 tbsp butter
    4 tbsp cocoa powder (4 net carbs)
    6 packets splenda (don't know how many carbs, I'm assuming less than 6)
    1/3 tsp peppermint extract (might want to cut back, it was very pepperminty)

    Basically I melted the butter/oil, mixed cocoa powder and splenda, added extract. Froze them in a muffin tin. It was just like thin mints! Except, well, minus the wafer. Maybe I should try meringue for the wafer part...

    I'm trying to figure out how to make a white chocolate version of it...any suggestions? I wonder if protein powder would work.

    I did Atkins in 2000. My cholesterol went to 243, so I stopped Atkins, and I gained back all 38 pounds I had lost. Please reconsider your choice of diet!

    cook bacon weekly. save the grease. use the grease for oil, as a shortening substitute, as a life-enhancing gift from the gods.

    If you are strictly avoiding protein, feel free to ship me the cooked bacon!

    That sounds delicious!

    I wonder if I can make a bacon dessert.

    I'm not that worried about my cholesterol since I'm only 19. I just need to lose like 15 lbs, so this isn't a long term thing either.

    Why, yes. You can:

    Chocolate-covered bacon.
    On a stick.
    I shared it with my fiance and some lucky co-workers.
