Carbs are a limit, protein is a target range, and fats are to satiety. Fat is not a goal to "reach." If you're full, stop eating. You don't need more fats if you've accommodated your other goals.

I found that fat bombs, when eaten one here or there, are okay, but they made me crave more junk and became almost a macro unto themselves. I don't eat them now, much, if at all, but they were critical to my success in the beginning.

I think that was my problem. I was a sweets junkie, and while my cravings are more managed on this eating plan, I still have the "sweet tooth" and so most fat bombs and such end up being a slow slide to carb creep for me...

I'm so jealous of those who can have them once in a while without much adjusting!

Just fyi, there are also savory (i.e. not sweet) fat bomb recipes out there too. Here is a link to a website that has some sweet fat bombs and some savory fat bombs.

Simple starter Fat Bomb: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/KnitOrMiss/view/cream-cheese-clouds-recipe-728462

Another super simple one - Poor Man's Chocolate Mousse
2-4 TBSP heavy cream, 1 TBSP cocoa powder (I prefer the "Special Dark" flavor - if not using a dark, add 1 tsp vanilla), and stevia, sweeten to taste. Adjust flavors to taste, but whip ingredients together.

I've since moved on to:

My basic fat bomb recipe is:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz butter, softened
4 oz coconut oil, melted

2-4 TBSP flavors
Sweeten to taste.

Melt the butter and coconut oil together until JUST MELTED. Mix... Blend in cream cheese (it won't get super smooth and emulsified until you mix in flavorings.

I've done this with cocoa powder and cinnamon. With lemon juice and zest. And a few other flavors that were less memorable. But this base can be used with most anything...


As for the savory ones, I tried the smoked salmon one, and oh, goodness, I did not like it! LOL - just forewarning. But at this point, I'm not sure I like smoked salmon anymore, apparently.
