20 grams of FAT!!!

You know I never knew it was that hard to shop for food to take with my rib and icv. Yes, I know peanut butter and a few other things. But what has been easy to eat, buy or even stomach down? I have heard about olive oil shot.

mounds candy bars (5 gm per bar) small honey buns (10 gm per) olive oil works well to cover needed fat gm's, peanut butter worked well 2 big spoonfulls covers 20 gm's and was the easiest to get down. Here are somethings others have used.
Taylor Ham - 6 gms/slice (you may know it as pork roll, if you are south of New Jersey!)
Egg – 5gms
American cheese – 5 grms/slice
Bran Muffin – 5 grms
Frozen Waffles – 3.5 grms each
Pancakes – 7.6, (4)
Biscuit – 5.1 grms
Granola – 33 grms / cup
Cream Cheese – 10 grms/ounce
Milk Chocolate – 10 grms/ounce
Cheeseburger 4 oz – 30 grms
Potato salad – 10 grms/ ½ cup (eggs Mayo type)
Hot Dog – 18 grms
Yogurt – 7.4 grms, 1 cup

All good suggestions. Especially about starting a new post. Any queries about tx and sx, just post a new question in the brown box on the top of the page.
Most people here have treated, or are treating, and between us we have had pretty much all the sx you can think of. So please, ask away.
I had a lot of trouble eating in the mornings, so I had Greek yoghurt like Pooh recommended. I also always had ice cream on hand for the late night dosing. A cup and a half of ice cream is 20grm. Just make sure you don't buy low fat.
A fruit smoothie also enabled some nutrition, just make sure it's full fat milk.
Otherwise, you're going to have to just muddle through.

I was having a lot of trouble getting the AM fat down as I was typically very nauseated.  I found that I could add a small amount of half and half to a glass of chocolate milk to get the 20 grams.  I am glad I have completed the Incivek because of the fat intake and side effects.  Good luck with your treatment.

Try Greek Gods Yogurt. It is high in fat and tastes delicious, very creamy, like pudding or ice cream. Be sure to get the regular, not the low fat.

Welcome to the forum.

In the future, you will get more responses if you start a new thread/topic yourself. Just go to the top of the page and click the orange Post a Question bar. Add a subject title and then ask your question.

Things that taste good to you at first, may not taste good later, so it's a great idea to switch things around from time to time.  Here is a link to some information that I posted in my journal listing items that contain fat that were recommended by all of the forum members here:

Some of these may have already been covered by other posters above.

corn muffins with butter, but you have to read the label. some are loaded with fat. cookies are high in fat too. cheese, any kind. i'll just take a few slices and choke em down. i like unsalted almonds too. i have 3 more weeks of incivek and i can't wait to stop eating. i don't think i'll eat for a week.

good luck
