A couple handfuls of nuts and you can eat 30 grams of fat easily. I also like to put olive oil on any veggies that I eat (after I cook them). It is a great way to add fats to your diet. If you are looking for saturated fats, bacon is always good. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-38532 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:59:58 +0000 Shine 38532@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I second Hannah&#39;s suggestion about cooking up a pan of bacon. I toss a handful of baby spinach in the rendered fat; it soaks up all the fat and is quicker than cooking eggs if you are pressed on time. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-38425 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:27:37 +0000 hannahc 38425@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>lilEM I don&#39;t like to eat coconut oil straight, but coconut BUTTER is amazing!! Absolutely delicious. Artisana makes one, and I can get it at Whole Foods, but I haven&#39;t seen another brand. It does have about 3.5 carbs per tablespoon, but it definitely works to quell fat cravings :) It&#39;s like eating a nut butter off of a spoon, rather than an oil. YUM! If I want fat otherwise, I&#39;ll usually heat up a couple of pieces of bacon (I&#39;ll cook 2 pounds on the weekend and keep it in the fridge through the week). </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-38403 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:23:50 +0000 gazb 38403@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>lbd, that reminds me of a recent Hyperlipid entry:<br /> <a href="http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2009/11/food-lardo-real-thing.html" rel="nofollow">http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2009/11/food-lardo-real-thing.html</a></p> <p>Pork, mostly fat. I need to get myself some of that!</p> <p>Anyway I often just eat a bit of butter or coconut oil as a snack. However last night I ate a bit of both as a bedtime snack then felt really ill, got stomach pains and all sorts! No idea what caused it, but the butter did taste a bit funny so maybe it was off. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37855 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:26:17 +0000 lil_earthmomma 37855@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Annika and lbd, those are great ideas! </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37841 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:54:10 +0000 lbd 37841@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>We buy pastured pork from a local Amish family. The pork butt portion is very fatty, so I cook it long and slow in the oven and a ton of fat just melts out of it (which I save, of course). I cut off a good bit after it has cooked for awhile to render lard from. However, the crispy pieces around the edges are unbelievably delicious and full of wonderfully flavorful fat! Yum! Tastes a lot better than coconut oil ;) </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37838 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:49:53 +0000 Annika 37838@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Coconut milk/cream blended with frozen blueberries to make ice cream! YUM! </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37831 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:39:09 +0000 lil_earthmomma 37831@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the ideas everyone!</p> <p>I don&#39;t mind the taste of coconut oil, I think it was the waxy globby weird texture that made me gag! </p> <p>I do cook with bacon grease and save the fat... maybe I just need to cook more things with it. Everything else gets cooked with butter or coconut oil. I&#39;ve been grilling though over the last few days, so haven&#39;t been adding fat. Hmmmm...</p> <p>(I did have a bite of butter, and really loved it. *blush* Now I know why my toddler always has his fingers in the butter dish!)</p> <p>I think I&#39;ll start trying to drink more coconut cream too. Maybe with some chai tea tonight.</p> <p>I was just looking for some quick non cook ideas, for inbetween meals when suddenly my body craves fat. I notice if I let the fat craving go to long, it morphs into a sugar craving. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37825 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:26:49 +0000 BarbeyGirl 37825@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Yech. I&#39;m not into eating hunks of pure butter or coconut oil, either -- though I like both for cooking.</p> <p>How about some fatty, grass-fed ground beef (or leaner conventional beef browned in coconut oil, butter, or palm oil) sauteed with a few veggies and spices, or in a chili or spaghetti sauce (no beans or pasta)?</p> <p>I like to add up to 1/4 cup of coconut cream to a large mug of peppermint tea. Delicious.</p> <p>Nut butter. Spinach wilted in bacon fat and topped with crumbled bacon. Sausage and egg omelets cooked in butter and topped with avocado. Salmon &quot;breaded&quot; with coconut oil and dessicated coconut (unsweetened) and baked. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37820 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:22:52 +0000 Raphael 37820@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Why not just bite into that butter stick? I do it all the time! </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37814 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:13:59 +0000 Griff 37814@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I scramble eggs in bacon fat, as Primalchild does, and then pour the remaining fat over the scrambled eggs. I have been known to lick plates. :D</p> <p>Try putting the coconut oil in a hot drink like tea or coffee. I&#39;ve heard that it makes it more palatable. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37812 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:11:44 +0000 Primalchild 37812@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Do you not like coconut? I can eat oil by the spoonful and can drink coconut milk by the can. Those are my main sources. Other than that, I always scramble my eggs in the leftover bacon fat so that none is wasted. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/help-with-fat-cravings#post-37810 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:07:20 +0000 lil_earthmomma 37810@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Ok my primal friends, I need some help. I don&#39;t think I&#39;m getting enough fat. I have been under the weather this week, as well as my nursling, so I&#39;ve been doubly taxed. I&#39;ve been eating lots of protein, but I don&#39;t think enough fat.</p> <p>Now I&#39;m craving fat. Yesterday I tried just eating a spoonful of coconut oil, and gagged. Ew. I keep eying up the butter, but... well... </p> <p>I made myself some whipped cream and ate it with some sauteed apples and nuts, but I need fat without the sugar yk?</p> <p>What are your quick on the go sources of fat? </p>
