How to increase fat intake

[memubo99]

I am finding it hard to increase my fat intake without increasing my protein. If I add meat or fish the protein goes way up and at end of day I end up with way more protein than fat. Carb level is fine.

i know that for atkins fat intake needs to be higher than protein which the body can convert to glucose.
I am having butter and olive oil, but how do others get more fat than protein?

Dont forget that a gram of fat contains double the calories of a gram of protein. On Atkins you should be getting roughly double the amount of calories from fat than from protein, which means if you are tracking grams you should be aiming for equal quantities of fat and protein!!

oooh, Thanks Cazzie26 I'm getting roughly ~90g fat and ~75g protein each day so I'm ok ?
