I've chosen higher fat snacks - instead of beef jerky I chose guacamole with pork rinds for dipping, peanut butter toast (low carb bread), almonds, hard cooked eggs.

We had breakfast for supper one night and I was going to make ham and eggs. Instead I made breakfast sausage patties and omelets with cheese (and mushrooms and a little onion) in them. So, instead of lean ham, sausage and cheese, which added more fat and calories. (and got my calories much closer to where they should be)

Last night I made homemade ice cream and used 1/4 c. heavy cream, some sugarfree pancake syrup and water. Put all that in one of those cute little canister freezers and it made a healthy cup of ice cream for about 5 carbs, and lots of fat. The sugar alcohols did make me oogy (I don't have them often) but in the morning my weight was down more.

Adding fattier proteins (and the cream) are the only things I have changed. I do exericise, but I'm definitely no gym rat. I'll do 30 min. of Wii or walk aftern dinner (less than 2 mi.), but not much else.

I hope this info is helpful.


YEah this is more or less what i am doing
I am a bit scared to add extra carbs - i have been taking extra creams and stuff like you have been doing to up my fat. i am keeping a eye on my calorie intake. What sort of level of Cals are you eating just now. i am just eating about 900 - 1300 cals at the moment. i am at gym 3 times a week for a hour every time . burns about 600 cals. think the calorie intake i have just now is ok or needs increased?
