My menu sounds similar to Za'atar's at the moment.

The majority of my fats are coming from (in this order) olive oil, butter, nuts, full fat cream cheese, mayo, eggs, cream. Occasionally, full fat yoghurt.

A tablespoon of olive oil is something like
120 cals
13g fat
0g protein
0g carbs

butter is similar with a teeny bit of carbs.

A tablespoon of olive oil with mixed herbs, salt&pepper over roast chicken or a pork chop.
Or chicken with lettuce and mayo as a salad. Sometimes add slivered nuts.
Cream cheese and scrambled eggs cooked in butter.
Chicken in peppercorn cream sauce.
Tuna with mayo and olive oil.
Creamed mushrooms on LC toast.
Almond flour bread with butter.
Nut butters as a snack.
Cream cheese with a dash of lemon juice and splenda as a snack.

I only eat when I'm hungry, but higher fat is not as filling as high protein. Still filling, and hunger is controlled because low carbing and eating enough protein. It's a plus to be able to eat a little more and therefore fit in something tastier than just grilled meat.

With so many calories in fat, you will need to watch that and find your calorie amount to keep losing. We all know it's not easy to eat another piece of chicken, but really easy to throw in a tsp or more of oil/butter. Hopefully you'll find that you can eat a little more calories.
