Cook everything in butter, coconut oil, olive oil, or bacon grease.

Choose dark meat chicken with the skin on.

Nuts are a good way to get in days.

Make egg salad with mayo.

I'm going on the premise that you eat meat, so if you don't - then coconut oil, olive oil, and nuts still apply.

Are you wanting to add fat because you're feeling hungry?

Oh yeah. There are some days that I'm totally fine and can get away with just drinking water to fill up, but other days I feel like I'm starving to death. My boss says I get "hangry." Lol

Just checking. It's common thinking that we need to eat certain amounts of fat even beyond hunger on here. Lots of confusing info out there...
I think all the suggestions above sound great.
I personally start my day with coconut oil in my coffee. I find it to be a satisfying breakfast and I can go from that at around 6:30am until about 2:30 or 3pm before getting hungry again.

Tablespoon of olive oil straight up! Its really not that bad...

I do that too. Love the pepper-y taste of high quality olive oil.

I also often put olive oil and ACV into the avocado hole. Salt and pepper to taste. Vinegar dressing takes 30 secs to make and is sooo versatile.

To OP, choose fattier cuts of meats. Chicken thighs are not only tastier, but also don't dry out as fast as breasts = more forgiving when cooking. Slow cooked meats like pork shoulder or knuckles in a crock pot. 2in1 cause you get bone broth as well

I personally can't stand the taste of coconut oil in my coffee, so lately I've been trying MCT oil and/or butter in my coffee (you have to use a blender of some kind to make it frothy) to get a little more fat. Like u/Sunny_Bunny_ , it's been working as a substitute for breakfast and keeps me going until lunch. I use 1T of each. It also seems to level out the caffeine and make it "last" longer.

I'm new to logging on MFP but not new to low carb. Eating high fat is high in calories, do you find it hard to stay within your calories?

The trade off is that high fat is more satiating so you would thereoretically eat less. I say thereoretically because it takes time to train ourselves to listen to our bodies and be satisfied with less.

I net 1500 calories a day at 5'3" and 135 lbs. I do eat back some of my exercise calories but I am usually either under 1500 or just reaching that number. Pre-planning helps me reach the appropriate macros easier.

So what would be some other ways to increase fat for someone who doesn't eat meat (except occasionally salmon) and really does not care for coconut oil at all? I do eat a lot of nuts and olives, but it's getting kind of boring.

What about avocado?

Do you eat butter?

If you eat salmon, try to have it with the skin on.

There are days I find it easy to hit 1700. There are days I find it challenging to hit 1000 calories. LCHF is pretty easy to stay within a deficit.
