Fats too low

I’m having a hard time getting my fats to the 75% on macronutrients wheel. I always seem to be 40-50% or so. Question - how can I get more fats to get my number closer to the 75%. And two if I am not getting high fat numbers does that slow my ketosis and not able to loose weight?  Thanks for any help

    I’m having the same problem. I’ve read a lot of folks mentioning coconut oil and mct oil. Avocados are also good. I’ve started putting butter on all my veggies, and whipping cream (no sugar, natural) in my coffee. Cream cheese is good too. The nice thing with this app is that you can plot and plan to see what will push up the fats, before even eating anything. As for the second bit—I’m not sure yet how that works... 🙂

    Pro-tip: add fat to EVERY meal / snack and you'll be more likely to hit your target. I sometimes just eat a chunk of cacao butter as a snack (solid at room temperature). The quality of fats matter, too. I would choose avocado or olive oil before corn or canola oil. Don't be shy about using butter either! Eating fat on this diet won't make you fat!

  • Kerry Gold butter, hard boiled eggs, and liverwurst. Also sardines. Not necessarily all together.

    MCT oil has been a life saver for me. Typically everything I cook has olive oil or butter and I eat avocado almost every day. I also made fat bombs to keep in my fridge when I need a little extra something.

    I just finished reading "Keto Clarity" by Jimmy Moore. He said he had to keep his fat at 80 to 85% in order to lose weight!  I was losing but then gained 1.2 pounds and wondered why.   I looked back and realized I had not met my fat goal for several days.  So I upped my fat and starting losing again.

  • I recently got plateaued and tweaked my protein down a little and my fats up and started losing  again too. Keto Clarity has been my favorite and most helpful read so far. Congrats on breaking through your barrier!
