    Bacon fat: Great as a warm dressing on spinach, great for fried or scrambled eggs
    Duck fat: You haven't lived until you've eaten duck fat fries
    EVOO: So many different flavor profiles to choose from
    Clarified butter: Good for high heat cooking
    Rice bran oil: Great for stir fry
    Avocado oil: Great for vinaigrettes

    Duck fat, Ghee, Bacon fat, avocado oil. Vegetable oil has its place.

    I'm very disappointed that no one has said Fats Waller.

    I could tell you my favorites, but not are are healthy for me.

    I'd cook with a little butter or oil to get more in. I love peanut butter, but have kidney stones and have to eat low oxalate. I also love cheese and avocados. And ice cream. I shouldn't be eating too much cholesterol, so several of those aren't so great for me.). For oils I keep olive oil, sunflower oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, walnut oil and avocado oil on hand in some assortment for the different textures and flavors.

    Most of my daily fat comes from raw almonds, olive oil (dressing) and eggs.

    Tropical fats like avacodo, olive, oconut oil are best. I also get my fats through meat, and a little butter. I try to avoid polyunsaturated fatty acids vegetable oil.

    I've noticed my fat intake is pretty low. What are some of your favorite fats? I am planning on getting some avocado in my diet. Occasionally I add olive oil to salad. Most of what I eat just happens to be low-ish fat.

    Saturated fat, because without bacon and sausages in my life I would be very depressed.

    I adore grassfed butter. I freely admit that I'll sometimes just eat a couple of tablespoons of it on a spoon like most people do peanut butter, when I can spare he calories.

    I've done the same thing before with ghee, duck fat, lard, cream cheese, almond butter, and coconut oil before, but not quite as often.

    Butter, lard, chocolate and cheese. If I ever have to cut down on saturated fats I will be sad. I get some almonds and sardines in there too.
