Fats
Fat filled foods I love
I consume a lot of fat. It is the top macronutrient that I eat on a daily basis. Here are my favorites:
Beef, pork, lamb
3-4 times per week.
Fattier cuts of the animal are preferred over the lean cuts. I usually go for beef ribeye, pork brisket, pork belly, and lamb rack. All fats are consumed!
Chicken
2-3 times per week.
Dark meat only. Thighs, legs, wings. Always with skin. I avoid chicken breast because it is very low in fat and it has significantly less flavor than dark meat pieces.
Salmon, cod, sardines
1-2 times per week.
Great high fat nutrient packed fish.
Eggs
3-5 eggs per day.
I love to have eggs for my first meal of the day. I'll eat another serving of eggs before or after a workout. Eggs can always be a snack. I always cook them sunny side up.
Raw butter, Ghee, pork lard, beef tallow
Every meal.
I use one or two of these fats to grease up the skillet and cook the food. I use generous amounts of these fats in cooking. Yes, butter is healthy!
Raw milk
Approximately 1/2 cup every day.
Unprocessed, unpasteurized, straight from the farm milk. I love to add this to my coffee. I'll have a glass after dinner if I'm craving it.
Yogurt
5-7 times per week.
Full fat, no sugar, no additives. I'll eat this at the end of the day and pair it with berries.
Avocados
5-7 times per week.
I love eating avocados as a side for any meal. I eat avocados plain or mash them with olive oil and spices. I try to eat at least 1/2 an avocado each day.
Olive oil
5-7 times per week.
I drizzle olive oil on many dishes served at the house. I never cook with olive oil. It's added as a topping to already prepared food.
Bone marrow
1 time per week.
I'll eat a few servings of bone marrow as a side to the meat. These are sliced and delivered by my local ranch.
