    Nuts and seeds, nut butters, whole eggs, dark chocolate, chia seeds (which you can make a pudding out of, or put in Smoothies or yogurt/oatmeal), fatty fish, also have a salad with olive oil dressing, coconut, full fat yogurt, olives, flaxseed, pork bacon, whole milk, mayo, steak, beef.

    Cook all your foods in fat - olive oil, butter, etc. Choose fatty cuts of meat instead of lean.

    Butter and coconut oil are both fat, use whichever you prefer.

    Check out some good keto recipe sites to get a feel for what kinds of foods are best.

    My faves are:
    ruled.me
    ibreathimhungry.com

    Others have already given you plenty of information on where you get your fats. It's really not too hard once you get started.

    If I need a little more fat, I'll put some heavy whipping cream in my tea. But I usually have absolutely no problem meeting my fat goal.

    Have you thoroughly researched what keto is? As I would think if you had you would have a few recipes and food lists already to hand? I know it can be exciting to just get started but it's a very specific way of eating.

    Check out the sites. I get the feeling you might want to do a little more research on keto.

    Yes i have researched and i have seen lots and lots of recipes i just wanted to know mainly snacking foods and the basics what people eat i am a mum of 4 young children and dont really have time to write lists and if i do they end up getting kidnappped and scribbled on as i was already doing the shop i thought it would be easier to ask here then search the internet. Yes it is specific i have my macros set i know what i have to acheive i was just asking for some advice and a bit of a chat?

    You may find doing keto that you don't care about snacking. I prefer eating three main meals and generally am not interested in eating between meals, and less so with low carbs.

    Good snack-like foods would include nuts or nut butter (as everyone has said) and hard-boiled eggs. I also like smoked salmon, but that's less convenient. I find just cutting carbs and eating enough calories (and cooking with fats) you easily have sufficient fat.

    Its not just fats you want its the good fats. Not just any nuts you only want tree nuts. Guacamole is another "good fat" source. Those and olive oil are my prime sources.

    Nothing wrong with different types of nuts. I do keto and I eat peanuts all the time.

    The nice thing about keto is that you can eat whatever you want as long as it fits into your macros and you're not eating more than 50g net carbs (or lower if you prefer).

    You could eat a cookie every day if you wanted to. The idea of keto is different than something like Paleo, with a very strong focus on healthy, whole foods. You could still be in nutritional ketosis if you ate bacon, cream cheese, peanuts and cookies all day - as long as your net carbs were low enough. Obviously that's not the HEALTHY approach - but from the definition of "keto", you could totally do that.

    almond butter is one of my common fats, but i actually like cottage cheese (and pretty much all foods)... nuts, avocados, chia seeds, butter, coconut oil, whole eggs, so many delicious options. :)

    In keto you have to balance the low carbs with the high fats.

    Here are some websites that are paleo and keto to get some ideas:

    http://paleoiq.com/best-paleo-diet-blogs/

    Your macro ratio should be along the lines of 45% protein; 40% fat and 15% carbs/sugar.

    Olive oil, coconut oil, peanut butter, grass fed dairy butter, chicken skin/fat, any fat from the meat that you cook. I sometimes just eat a pat of butter. Hubs uses the "dripping" and scrambles and bunch of eggs in it.

    (I cook my meat and then let the fat cool and scoop it / scrape it off the pan and apply to my leafy green veggies.)
