When should I take my EFA's?
Hey everyone, I was wondering what is the best time to take my EFA's: I'm cutting, and here's my usual schedule, also I appreciate critiques. I'm 5'11", 170 lbs, and 22 yrs old.
Breakfast: 400 calories, oatmeal, whey & fruit
Lift
Post W/O: 300 calories, fruit, isolate & a few complex carbs
Meal: 400 calories, chicken, whole wheat pasta & vegetables
Meal: 300 calories, chicken & whole wheat something
Cardio: 30 mins of hard cardio, done about 3 hours after previous meal
Meal: 300 calories, chicken and vegetables, maybe a few carbs
So my total is 1700 calories (10 for every lb.), should I reduce it by 200 so when I take my EFA's my total will be 1700?
P.s, I love this site, thanks for everyone's help!

I made a mistake above. IMHO - I think a small amount of fats should be added to PWO for those that are cutting. For bulking and maintenance, no fats PWO.

It slows down the digestion so therefore you don't get the insulin spike. I think fat for bulkers is fine PWO for those trying to stay super lean during their bulk but optimally for bigger gains, no fat PWO is the best option for bulkers.

Fat is actually beneficial in PWO shakes, but only in a rediculously small amount. Whey protein contains a small portion of fat, which is just the right amount. Too much fat, as the others have mentioned, will slow things down.

I also take the eat EFAs at every meal except my PWO meal approach. I also limit my intake pre-workout a little bit, though there is some fat because oatmeal inherently contains some fat and I use 2% milk instead of skim milk. I also use whey protein concentrate/isolate blend which contains a bit of fat as well.
Of course, I also consume my pre-workout meal about an hour before working out, and I sip on my PWO shake a little bit at the beginning and during my workout. This limits my need to streamline digestion with fats pre-workout.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
