    Same story with yogurt! I had to ask where the full fat was in a rack with probably 80 products he was hard pressed to find one that was full fat.

    I flirted with the idea of fattier burger meat,but the 80/20 ratio has been such a winner for me and I've gotten fantastic results with it. I've learned that a 1/4 lb 80/20 burger for lunch and a lighter dinner usually helps me overcome a stall.

    @clord72 I always use the Greek yogurt fire in full fat it's so awesome because it tastes like sour cream but I can add vanilla to it or anything to it to change the flavor if I want to.

    @CMYKRGB Thanks for the tip! Stalls suck.

    You know what's really good? Ground hamburger with pork meat mixed in. It adds fat and a ton of flavor!! I always buy 80/20 from the butcher and mix it in with either ground pork or low carb italian sausage meat.

    I pour bacon drippings into my hamburger sometimes. Yummy.

    ... the idea of that would have horrified me a couple of years ago. LOL

    I used to mix lean burger with turkey to cut the fat! Now I mix in ground sausage to the 80/20 burger meat, and it increases the fat! :smile: Plus, it tastes so much better now! In fact, I believe I am a better cook with this woe too! :smiley: I had really been eating some awful foods (frozen dinners, boxed meals you add meat to of all types, low fat too, yuck!)before, and didn't realise how good food can taste!

    Oh man, I swear they're systematically cutting out all the full fat stuff and it's driving me batty. Ricotta cheese? One, maybe two whole milk ones, all the rest? Part skim. Yogurt? Might be able to find a whole milk one. Out of (like you said) 80 varieties, I'm lucky to ever find one or two that aren't low or no fat. Regular cheeses are heading in that direction, too. Full fat ones are dropping off in favor of low fat and fat free crap. :(

    I guess it's one way for me to limit my dairy intake...

    Google Fage. It has a full fat no sugar added yogurt. Try the "store finder". I found it that way

    10% is the fattiest mince I can find in my regular grocery stores. I often order my groceries for delivery and they've subbed my full fat products for low fat so many times! Drives me nuts.

    At least with the mince, you can add fat to it (bison, which is what I usually eat, is essentially 90/10, too, but add butter? nom nom nom). Doing that with yogurt or other similar stuff? ....doesn't work so well.

    Is there a substitution preference option or a way to add notes to your delivery service to only substitute full fat for full fat (or don't sub at all)? Might also be worth contacting the company about it, if you haven't already.
