Can you eat avocados? Not a bad fat and could help with hunger and feeling full, maybe. I'm not expert.

Yes, when doing low carb you might want to limit the protein and increase the healthy fats with eggs, nuts, avocado, etc. Look at the colored pie chart at the bottom of your food log each day. I usually try for 25%protein, 10% crabs and 65%fats, It seems crazy but eating fat will NOT make you fat.

HCB - got me chuckling...I know you meant carbs but 10% crabs...lol. That sounds great to me, I love crabs!! Sorry for derailing this, back to helpful discussion!

Thanks everyone for your support and comments. I will try to increase my fat intake. Besides avocado, nuts and eggs do you have meal ideas which are higher in healthy fat? Thanks again!

You can use coconut oil while cooking to increase healthy fat. I just bought a book by Dana Carpender called low carb high fat cooking but it's at home so I can look at it later today and suggest some.

Bwhahahaha! I did not even notice my typo - I guess I have crabs on the brain! My husband's birthday is next week and he loves crab! I was thinking of having some Maryland crabs shipped for him!

In addition to the healthy fats, I also try to fill up on raw greens like spinach and baby kale-- I might make a salad with 2-3 cups of greens, half an avocado, blue cheese, and a few almond slivers, blackberries or strawberries-- drizzle it with some olive oil and it is difficult to eat it all!! It def fills me up! You can also EAT ALL OF THE BACON!! Very satiating.

Nyagos, that sounds amazing. Are strawberries high in carbs?

LOL Hcb. I live in Maryland. Crabs are a big
thing here. Unfortunately, I cant eat any shellfish as I keep kosher.

One cup of whole strawberries:
Total Carbohydrate 11 g
Dietary fiber 2.9 g
Sugar 7 g
One cup of blackberries:
Total Carbohydrate 14 g
Dietary fiber 8 g
Sugar 7 g
Using only a few sounds great. :)

Elee124065 - what a funny coincidence! My husband does not keep Kosher so he will eat shellfish.
