what are good of sources of dietary fat for a paleolithic diet, other than nuts, avocados and lean red meat?
I ask because I detest nuts and avocados - and I don't eat that much red meat. I'm tired all the time, so I'm looking for other sources to boost my energy. I'm eating a lot of chicken thighs/legs, which help a little, but not enough.

What about extra-virgin olive oil and other cold-pressed oils in salad dressings and mayonnaise?

seeds also have oils. Munch on sunflower and pumpkin seeds for snacks, sprinkle flax seeds or sesame or poppy seeds on salads.
I toss a small jar of olives into some stews. The vinegar in brined olives is not paleo in princple by some official standards, but it is by others.
Cold-water fish are fatty--salmon, tuna, etc.
A tablespoon or two of flax oil every morning is healthy for a number of reasons, and many of the long-timers and moderators/mentors here do that as a matter of course.
It's a bit harder with paleo--I get a lot of fat from cheese and butter-but it is possible!
