Say more than 20% to 30% of calories from dairy fat, cocoa butter or even olive oil.Can large quantities be defined?
Just drinking low fat milk and using coconut oil for frying should be fine.

Best combo I have found is Sugar+ Decent sat fat for the muscles to oxidize at rest since they don't have a bunch of glucose from starch.
Could it be the opiate effects Travis has talked about?I did just get my hands on some Full Fat Raw Jersey Milk. It is so good. You can feel/taste the difference, feels like it defiently lowers the stress hormones and creates an anti-inflammatory effect.

If you eat relatively low-fat foods, then whole milk won't add too much fat into your diet.I did just get my hands on some Full Fat Raw Jersey Milk. It is so good. You can feel/taste the difference, feels like it defiently lowers the stress hormones and creates an anti-inflammatory effect.

Just to chime in, my experience is that a reasonable amount of saturated fat and up to a tablespoon of olive oil make me lean, because they lower my gut stress.
If you are one of the lucky ones for whom starch or low fat makes you lean then I congratulate you. And I wish I had your healthy guts.
I think you've hit the nail on the head on why different things work for different people; Low fat works only if you can tolerate a lot of liquid or starch.
Curious though, why do you include olive oil?
And how much saturated fat?
I get a nice feeling from food cooked in olive oil - not sure why, I think it can just be less sickly than butter and feels more antiseptic to me.
Perhaps it is just taste.
I eat generous amounts, some with every meal, just enough to make food taste good. Sometimes it is 50g-70g a day, sometimes 10-20g, but I eat a lot of lowish fat feta too (which still is about 25g fat a day). I use coconut oil most of the time and seem to be able to eat plenty of it without gaining weight. Like I could eat close to a cup and feel leaner the next day! I'm more cautious with the butter and olive oil but not overly so.
I think low thyroid is responsible for my situation though. I am still experimenting with the right dose and the fat is just necessary whilst my gut function is compromised. Eases things through and lowers bacterial growth. It feels intuitively right too.
