Fat intake on CKD?

[WildTigerEyes7]

Can someone give me an idea of how to increase my fat intake on CKD? Right now my fat to protein ratio seems to be 1:1 - and I can't seem to figure out what else to eat!

(I am allergic to seafood/fish so I can't eat that sort of stuff)

Thanks!

I find that the easiest way is to add liquid fats to your diet: Flaxseed oil, MCT Oil, sesameseseed oil, sunflower seed oil, UDO's choice mix, olive oil, canola oil etc.

You can add 1 tbsp. with every meal, and it will increase your fat intake significantly.

I was planning on ordering some flaxseed oil today - is there somewhere I can find exactly how many fat grams all of these different oils have? Do you just eat a tbsp of them at each meal, even the olive oil, etc?

I was planning on buying the flaxseed oil in pill form just for convenience. I work @ a law firm and toting a bunch of foods/oils/etc is very hard for me.

On the back of the bottle it usually has fat content per tbsp. On average, most oils have about 13 grams of fat per tbsp.

An alternative would be to get the Flaxseed gel caps which are WAY more expensive per gram, but more convinient seeing as you can take them anytime without much hastle.

P.S. Yes, although it sounds nasty, you do need to swollow the oil usually w/o anything because of the amount of fat that needs to be ingested.

What I've used when I want to intake something other than flax oil.

Pine Nuts
30% fat ground beef
Cream Cheese
Salad Dressing
Sauted Veggies
