Butter and coconut oil are my lifesavers when it comes to fat. Seejay is absolutely right: the more fat you eat the less you want to snack, and I speak as a lifelong snacker, even during the early years of low carb, before somebody told me about the value of high fat.
I put butter and coconut oil in my first coffee of the morning and blend it with a stick blender. It is not greasy at all. Just creamy and frothy. I know, it's hard to get your head around, but these 'bulletproof coffees' have become very popular for a reason.
After that, if I'm still hungry when I get to work (which is rarely), I'll have a big plate of fried eggs, bacon, and sausage. And that's often all I need for the rest of the day because all the fat is so satiating. If I do eat in the evening on a day like that, it will be something very simple: a little cheese, liver pate, cucumber, celery, or a couple of soft boiled eggs.
On a day without the big fatty breakfast I might have fish or a juicy, fatty, steak in the evening with sautéed spinach. The steak, fish and the spinach will be cooked with grass-fed butter.
It can definitely be done. I eat very simply but have no problem incorporating as much fat as possible for satiation. A note of caution on cheese, which I love too: yes, the fat content is good, but it can cause stalls for a lot of people because it's such a handy go-to snack and very easy to overeat.
All the best.
