I can't eat all the food!
Hi All,
I'm in my first week and just joined the carb manager (love it!!) If I'm interpreting the chart correctly, I don't come anywhere close to eating everything I "should" I can't remember the last time I've eaten 1500 calories in a day, let alone 116 g of fat!! These are my numbers going in to dinner. I have not had any fiber. The calories are low because they deduct when you log exercise. What are y'all eating?? I got the Keto test strips and have trace amounts of Ketones. I weigh 150 lbs and am trying to loose my Covid 10 ;) Any suggestions??

Good way to add lots of fats - coconut oil, olive oil, nuts, nut butters, eggs, cheese, avocados...

Kat H Thanks Kat! I've been thinking of little things, like I have to get rid of the sprays and use real oil and all the things you mentioned. So many years of low fat thinking, I need to make the shift.

I've only been doing keto for 3 days but I wasn't coming anywhere near my fat needs for the day so I found a recipe for high fat keto cheesecake bombs and they have been so good, I've managed to lose 11 lbs in 3 days which surprised me

Don't eat if you're not hungry... as long as you're getting every bit of the nutrients you need (number one priority!) then slowly adding more fats to hit optimal fat % is fine, let your system get used it. Give yourself time to research recipes. Keto's not a race. 😄
I'm not hungry yet but when I am, I'll be having a yummy bacon and brussel sprouts fry-up for lunch. Happy for most of my carbs for today to go on that! Wish I had a little liver to throw in

I have been adding 2 pats of butter and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to my coffee to get fats in. I have also been eating 2 avocado's a day which adds to the fat number. I know that it seems insurmountable but I have found that the little things are adding up.

It was hard at first, I understand. In the morning sandwich with peanut paste, it has a lot of healthy fats, you can also add avocado, olive oil. You don't have to eat if you're not hungry. Are you counting calories?

Kat H Grapeseed oil is also really good to cook with.

David Graves never thought of adding avocado sounds like a good idea thanks.
