The hardest part for me is consistently getting enough fat. I love lean meat (like chicken) and if I just go hard on the salami, cheese, and hamburger patties I run out of calories pretty quick.
Almonds are almost the perfect food for my macros, if I just ate almonds all day I would be really close to my ratios.
What do you eat to get enough fat without slathering butter on everything?
Sorry it took so long to reply! We've been having a busy summer visiting with family and Jon's dad's wedding weekend!
I'm still working on balancing my macros, but I eat a lot of bacon and cheese. What kind of chicken do you eat?
We have chicken thighs, which have a slightly higher fat content. We make a lot of meals with ground beef of higher fat %-age as well. I've also recently started eating macadamia nuts as a snack, which are kind of expensive (we found them on sale and by bulk), but really delicious and higher in fat!! 👍
Do you like pork rinds or chicharrones? These are great to snack on, also string cheese (not light).
I also haven't yet tried fat bombs, but hear that is a GREAT and tasty way to bump up your fat. There are many recipes I've found on pinterest, which I have yet to try. 📌
I'll try some soon and post about it.
Let me know if you try any and we can compare notes! 😎

I made a couple different fat bombs and I also like to eat a ton of cheese. I used to just eat mainly chicken breast so adding fat was def necessary.
I need to fry some thighs, breaded in pork rinds, for a nice fatty crispy chicken meal.

Your reaction just inspired me to try it tonight. Gotta stop at the store to grab some thighs and chicharrones.
EDIT: Damn I just realized I have frozen thighs at home so maybe I'll try this tomorrow so I can thaw those babies. haha.
