It's not bad, but I'd ditch the peanut butter and reduce the olive oil. That's a lot of olive oil to be consuming on a daily basis.

Switch to a non-lean steak and maybe butter your veggies a little.

OK i`ll reduce 1 serving of olive oil and i`ll spread my bread with tomatoes and pepper instead.
How much fat should i get as animal ? SO is animal fat better than olive oil and peanut butter fat? And what type of butter do you use for the veggies?

Most of your fats should be from animal sources.

I wouldn't say animal fat is "better" than olive oil. Olive oil is definitely good (extra virgin), but just not good when it's most of your fat. The same goes with something as awesome as fish oil. It's definitely good, but it's not good when you get most of your fat from it.

Peanut butter fat is high in omega-6's, which is why I don't recommend it. It has some other issues, but that's the biggest one, IMO. It's ok in moderation, but it should definitely not be eaten in large amounts.

Just plain old salted butter works fine. If you can, organic butter salted with sea salt is best. I personally get mine raw from a local farmer. It's a very deep yellow (which indicates vitamin content from green pastures), very creamy, and full of flavor.
