It seems to me that you have the optimum way of ascertaining what your personal minimum amount of fat would be.  Experiment, test, and record: if your blood sugar behaves, you are golden.

Although some people do not tolerate nuts well, if they work for you they are a tasty and portable source of (mostly) fat.  You can also order coconut oil online; clarified butter keeps well (not technically paleo, but many people seem to use it anyhow).
