other 50% fish oil?

**LAM** · 09-26-2005, 11:25 AM

the remaining 50% is split between saturated fats (mainly from meats and eggs) and Omega fatty acids

Good stuff...

Olive oil and avocado are two of the best fats you can eat in my opinion!

Yea...I love them both!

I take in 6-8 tb daily of Ex Virgin olive Oil. Gives me 600-800 additional calories while bulking.

Note: Guys and Gals. Be carefull not to consume to much at the begiinning if you decide to take this or you will find yourself needing a toilet seat belt.

Thanks, P-funk. Informative site.

**shiznit2169** · 08-01-2006, 12:48 PM

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but i need to know a few things

I was just looking through the cabinets to see if i had anything that i could use to add to my diet and i just found out that i had olive oil which i never knew i had.

My question is, is it perfectly safe to consume 1-2 tablespoons a day straight from the bottle without using it to cook food? I tried it just now and it wasn't that bad, just a little odd. I spread a little on my sweet potato to make it easier.

If this is ok, does this account for 50% of my total fat intake? If so, where should my other 50% of fat come from? I eat 1 whole egg in the morning so that is one and i also eat beef and natural peanut butter. Am i missing anything?

Olive oil is a good source of fats, 1-2 servings would be fine.

Other sources of fat would be in other foods you eat (usually animal sources, or nuts) as well as either supplementing Fish oil or flax seed oil

Thanks for the info but i want to know if it's ok to consume straight out of the bottle and does 1-2 tablespoons account for 50% of the daily fat intake?

**tucker01** · 08-01-2006, 01:15 PM

yes it is ok to consume out of the bottle.

So you total fats are at 60g?

I'm not sure to be honest with you. I'm having a little trouble calculating it. I will tell you that i consume about 2900 calories a day with macros at 50-30-20. So, that would be 360g carbs, 220g protein, and 65g fats ... right?

**tucker01** · 08-01-2006, 01:27 PM

Yeah that is correct.

Are you supplementing any n3 fatty acids. (fishoil) Ideally you want n6:n3 to be around 2:1

**P-funk** · 08-01-2006, 01:29 PM

I like olive oil. but i don't like it enough to drink it right from the bottle.

**LoadedBats** · 08-01-2006, 01:30 PM

I almost always put 2 TBspoons of extra virgin olive oil in my protein shakes, unless it's post workout.

Nah, honestly i know i need them but it's just too damn expensive. I thought a mix of olive oil, natural pb, yolks, and beef would be good enough but if i really need them then i will get them.

**P-funk** · 08-01-2006, 01:34 PM

a bottle of fish oil caps isn't that expensive. you can get them at the corner CVS usually for cheap. or go to a costco or any wholesaler.

**tucker01** · 08-01-2006, 01:36 PM

Olive oil is low in n3 and n6 fatty acids. And unless you are eating grass fed beef, then n3 intake would be low.

I know wikipedia isn't the be all and end all of sources. But here is some info on n3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid

But as far as the olive oil if you have no problems with the the n6:n3 ratio, then it is a good fat to consume.

**shiznit2169** · 08-01-2006, 01:38 PM

thanks for the info guys

**Jodi** · 08-01-2006, 02:00 PM

You can get a bottle of 300 fish oil caps from Costco or Sam's Club for $7.00. That's pretty darn cheap

**aggies1ut** · 08-01-2006, 08:44 PM

I buy all my fish oil and multi-vit/multi-mineral caps at Costco. Damn cheap.

**Valias** · 08-01-2006, 11:24 PM

Abit OT but why isn't fats good PWO? Slow digestion? only thing i can think of.

-interested to know because i have oodles of fats almost all day long.

**Jodi** · 08-02-2006, 09:07 AM

Yes, they slow down the digestion of the protein and carbs.

IMO - if someone is on a cut, I think some fat PWO is a good idea.

A friend who bodybuilds and is hoping to go pro, drinks 2ltrs of olive oil every few days so that his skin glows.

**tucker01** · 08-02-2006, 11:59 AM

I find 2 litres hard to believe. That is a shit load of fat.

**Jodi** · 08-02-2006, 12:59 PM

Not to mention stupid!

Nice - that is 18 000 cals.... I am not sure about 'glowing' but I would imagine his skin would be looking rather 'full' if he where actually doing that.
