You don't really need to add a lot of fat (or even any, really) if you're eating foods that are naturally fatty or less lean. Eggs, pork, duck, goose, fatty fishes like mackeral and tuna (in and out of the can), any red meat with visible marbling, avocado (if available).
If you want to add fat: coconut oil, unsweetened coconut milk or cream, peanut oil (or other salad and cooking fats), lard, schmaltz (rendered poultry fat - which I many know asian americans cook with but don't know what the asian name is), nuts, pork fat/skin, beef tallow...
