My doctor and nutritionist actually told me I need to get more calories from fat. I switched to keto but was getting way too many calories from protein. I was (and still sort of am) struggling to get healthy sources of fat that fit into the rest of my diet and don't waste carbs on food I don't really want to eat. getting most of your calories from fat is actually ridiculously hard for me. Its way easier to me to eat steak and cabbage and broccolli and tomatoes forever. Apparently thats not a good diet though. Wasting carbs to eat fat rich foods like avocado or dairy fat like butter/cream/cheese hurts my soul.

> getting most of your calories from fat is actually ridiculously hard for me. You can ask your doctor or you can search online in a keto forum. Things that have personally worked for me: 1. pour a lot of olive oil (say 10 tablespoons) on salads. After eating the salad I just drink the olive oil. 2. Get MCT oil during the day in tea spoons. 3. (best/cheapest for me and I currently do) Get beef fat trimmings and fry/air-fry/slow-cook them (see https://www.instagram.com/p/CrhH9CBo1mC/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CrhH9CBo1mC/ for that and other high fat carnivore recipes)

  eating oil is pretty gross. I'll have to look into the beef fat thing. I started having coffee with cream and eating some eggs and avocado everyday but it seems there aren't that many sources of fat that aren't pure oil/fat that don't otherwise come with avocado.

    > eating oil is pretty gross It is. But you hopefully get used to it? Other examples: 1. eat only egg yolks (i'm actually alergic to egg whites) 2. Eat the foods with most carbs before gym. This way you can utilise some carbs for gym and you'll still keep high levels of ketones (see /r/ketogains protocol) 3. See the instagram account I linked. 4. See what they do for epilepsy (hint: they kinda drink oil because they need 90%) The beef fat trimmings are still kinda oil, just in nicer form and nicer taste. Literally eat 0.5kg-1kg of beef fat trimmings a day (they get 1/4 size after cooking)
