What I really mean is…How much fat at a sitting is optimum? First half of the day I try to get 3/4 of my fats in,starting at wake up (coconut oil).Bacon and eggs usually isn't in the cards for me,so getting big doses of fat with regular food,in the morning isn't consistent for me.I mean,fat sources are easy because they are so concentrated.If I'm on the go and sit down meals get hard to do,what should my fat intake strategy be?Fats take so long to be taken up,and available for energy,is getting them down very early in the day better?
Great question, i would like to know that as well.I had big portions of fatty chicken or duck that made me tired and i thought it was too much fat at once. But now i rather think it was simply too much protein and too much stuff at once, overloading my digestion.PS: my butter intake also increases daily, a few days ago i just grabbed a piece of it and let it melt in my mouth.
Coffee with coconut oil and cream upon waking for me… Then I'll attack protein and fat like a starved beast a few hours later.I add butter to most meals, a chunk here and there to up my fats.As for how much is optimal per sitting... Not sure, but I try and keep it high or at minimum, on a 1:1 scale with my protein.

Well, it depends. In a sitting at least half a gram for every one gram of protein, or some by it self. Maybe as much as you want without making you feel uncomfortable. Also with your macros/calorie limit is a good guideline
