Janet, I do pretty similar like Maral described above. I keep my meats to lean cut. I tried to eat grass-fed and organic as much as I can but that is not required. twice a month we eat bacon and we tried to eat regular grass-fed sugar free bacon. I also used Ghee or grass-fed butter on a daily basics to cook my meals (mostly breakfast) other fats I used are extra virgin olive oil, avocado and coconut oil. I am not a fan of avocado but I do eat it once in a while in a homemade guacamole version or in my smoothies.

I do try to limit the quantities, so If I am eating almond butter I would not have avocado. My cooking fats I try to limit just 1tbs per meal. In breakfast I used like 1/2 teaspoon. I do use nut milks in my coffee and sometimes in my smoothies. I do not measure or count that as fat because is more water than nuts what you are consuming.

Another thing you need to keep an eye of is the cheese. You can over eat on cheese and your calories can go really high.
