How to calculate fat consumption

(Robert Smith) #1

I’m 4 days into Keto and Have been transitioning well. My question is, when I cook say a steak or chicken in either olive oil or animal fat, how do I calculate exactly how much of the fat I am taking in. Obviously I can’t consume say two teaspoons if some of it is left in the pan.

I have been putting my veggies in a cup and dumping every bit of the oil and fat on them that I can. I’m just trying to learn how much to calculate that I am taking in

into the pan onto the plate, and then mop it all up then you could say you are getting most of it.

And make sure you lick the plate clean to get all that lovely fat!!! :scream::scream::joy::joy:

absolutely!!!

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #5

when I was a sugar-burner, my favorite method was to take several slices of bread and sop up as much fat as I possibly could. For some reason, a cauliflower or broccoli floret doesn’t do quite as good a job . . . :grinning:
