Macro question

I’m falling short with my fat as well. 

Take a look at Go Keto with Casey on YouTube keep Keto simple it works 😃

Getting fats shouldnt be hard and I suspect you are avoiding as you heard for years fats are bad for you.

I eat sauteed veggies and put 1 tbsp of Butter on them.

Eating Butter, Coconut oil (Virgin kind), fatty meats, eggs, nuts are sources of fats

It is my understanding that protein and fat are goals you want to hit each day, carbs are a cap and the lower the better.  You need the fat to stay in ketosis, and the protein to protect your muscle mass.  I tend to fall short on protein so I read up on it and there are a lot of conflicting opinions on whether it's okay to be short, but I figure better safe than sorry and work to hit my protein goal at least every other day.  I drink a cup of organic chicken bone broth plus a scoop of collagen peptides (with lemon juice and seasoning added) after dinner to hit that protein goal.  It's like 19g  protein. If I need fat as well I put a bit of butter in it.   The collagen peptides are tasteless and can go in almost anything, but my picky stomach will only accept them in the bone broth, which already contains collagen. 

I’m not meeting fat goal either

what are thoughts on MCTs to meet fat goal?

Hail2019 as far as I have read, MCT is great for meeting fat goal and for overall health.

Cheese & whipping cream are my go to’s to increase my fat

Gastric Joy  I use fatbombs and MCT oil added to just about anything when running short on fat.

Can you share a peanut butter fat bomb recipe please

Darlene Herman I have several fat bomb recipes posted on the Recipe Swap forum.  Here is the one for Peanut Butter.  Coconut butter is a little hard to find but really improves taste.  I get it at Sprouts or Whole Foods.

1 net carb (2 total), 10g fat, 1g protein, 88 calories.  Makes 24 servings.

2oz creamy peanut butter (Jiff Natural)

1oz coconut oil

2oz coconut butter

2oz cream cheese

4oz butter

3tbsp heavy whipping cream

3tsp Erythritol (or Xylotol or stevia)

Heat HWC in double boiler and dissolve sweetener.  Mix in cream cheese.  Mix in PB.  Add remainder of ingredients, stir till well mixed.  If cream cheese doesn't blend, transfer to heat resistant bowl and use mixer to blend.  Spoon into candy forms, about 80% full in mine.  Freeze.  Pop out and store in freezer in Ziploc bag.  They don't get really hard.  Will keep for weeks.  Delicious and very filling for so few calories.

For a fun twist on Reese's, top with sugar free chocolate chips.

These are the molds I use:

Darlene Herman I responded with a recipe but it's pending review.  I don't know why they do that to some posts, but it took almost 4 days the last time.  I have a peanut butter fat bomb recipe in the Recipe Swap forum if you'd like to look there.  Just note that I accidentally posted the macros for a half piece, so the macros will be doubled when you actually add the recipe, 1 carb, 1 protein, 88 cals.

I hit my goals pretty well,  jr since I got a fit bit and sync it to this app, all my macros go down and I’m negative on a lot of them at the end of the day. Any suggestions?

I tried to attach recipe screenshot, but unsure if worked ...

4oz softened cream cheese

1/4 c peanut butter

1T Swerve

1/2 crushed dark choc chips

Crush choc chips (I chop mine in mini food chopper) and set aside. Combine PB, cream cheese and Swerve. Mix then roll into balls (I used ice cream scooper to keep uniform size). Roll each ball in the choc chips, place on parchment paper and place in freezer.

YUMMY AND EASY TO MAKE! I usually double the recipe. Hope this helps:)

Thanks  That sounds good too

KimberlyRT  that sounds easy and yummy! Do you know the macros on that recipe?

Misspriss 

Fat 9%

Still don't know how to figure macros except for the above

Misspriss  To be honest, I’m not certain because I use the recipe from CM and their calculations.
