Meat, cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, fowl w/ skin, fish, oils, salad
dressing, flaxseed, flaxoil, etc. I don't like lean burger, but do trim
visable fat from something like a steak (but rarely would I eat that).
Probably the fattiest course of meat for me was pork ribs. Mostly, I ate
fish (salmon and talapia) and chicken breast.

Well, I count calories and everything using fitday.com and even when trying
to not eat the fattiest cuts of me (which, BTW, I don't do and never did),
the greatest precentage of calories come from fat. And to be honest, I did
try to limit fat consumption since it does have a lot of calories.
