    according ti my calculations i need to get 1500 cals from fats:

    i can get 820 from olive oil il spread it over my 6 meals and a lil in my shake done.


    But i still have 680 cals of fat to get in and im already at 130g of fat were/how is best to make up the cals from fats? my protein is at 213g i was thinking to throw a few eggs in to get a bit of extra protein and fats what do yous think? i have 1 shake a day thats it all the rest of my cals come from food.


    i know im not as smart as half you ppl on here but trust me im trying so hard at this shit im gonna make it work its all trail and error 130g of fat already seems very high to me is this safe?

    personally, I eat avocados, almonds, eggs, cashews. there are good foods you can eat to get your fat other than drinking olive oil. Don't forget you get fat from meat also.

    Natural peanut butter is a good easy source of fats. Eggs are good too. Um...flax seed oil, especially if you get the kind with hulls in it is good for fats and fiber...

    Avacados are great...

    I eat the shit out of peanut butter. Just grab a spoon and keep track of how many teaspoons you eat.

    macros help question on fats?

    Go to fatsecret.com and enter your foods and portions in the planner. It will give you a report with all the macro info and you can adjust from there. PB is good. Coconut oil too. Like stated above, you need to know how much is coming from your meats. Also you can add flax seed oil to Italian dressing for salads and veggies.

    A good tracker for macros on the go is myfitnesspal. It's a free app and awesome for food logging. Makes it way easier to know what to eat to hit macro girls.

    yeah yeah my staple is chicken breast cause i get it by the ton but its low in fat i love beef tho and steak.... theres just not much fat in chicken so if iv added shit up right i got just under 700 cals to get from fat left and im already at 130g of fat without the extra 700 cals so il be high in fat just wondering if its safe to eat levels that high?

    tweaking the diet is hard i know but theres just no fat in chicken breast man so i need to incorporate fat in my diet in a smart way will definatley be picking up some avacados but maybe need to throw a steak in a day but im doing this on budget...



    ill get there....

    macros help question on fats?

    You could make ground beef patties. That's cheaper than steak and still stay at like 90/10. We're all on budgets bro. Ill mix some onion soup in the raw meat then make into patties and pan fry. Mm mm good.

    That sounds good. Onion soup with ground beef. I get tired of eating the same crap. Gotta change it up. Thx for that idea.
