Which are better for you? E.g., is olive oil (mostly mono) better than safflower oil (mostly poly)?

monounsaturated fats should make up around 50% of your total fat intake. monounsaturated fats are the best fats with the exception of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids which are polyunsaturated.

I completely agree with LAM's statement.

Both are healthy but, as it was stated, olive oil is probably the better choice. You don't want to throw out your omega-3 : omega-6 ratio and safflower oil primarily linoleic acid (about 70%).

Stick to supplementing with your fish oil caps and then get the rest of your fats from your foods (nuts, seeds, meats etc) or monounsaturated sources.

Thanks Emma.

I am currently taking 6 fishies/day. But for additional fats, I wasn't sure about the poly/mono thing.

Also, I am currently eating a lot of salad. On a cut, is it ok to make my own balsamic dressing with just balsamic vinegar and a bit of olive oil as long as the olive oil is factored into my daily fat intake? Or should I eat the salad dry?

So, if i am running low on walnuts, I guess it would be ok to sub the rest with olive oil?

Emma-Leigh

Yup, that would be perfect!

As long as the olive oil fits and you are still taking in your 6g fishies then this is fine.
