Question about fat intake

aadaam · 06-06-2002, 03:20 PM

I am a 28 year old, 5'11, 165lbs, male. I watch what I eat very carefully. I only take in around 20 grams of fat a day and sometimes a lot less. What I am trying to get at Should I be supplementing my fat intake with nuts or flax seed oil, or something to that effect. For a little background I work out everyday, cardio one day then weight training the next.

You need more fat. I get anywhere from 70-150grams a day. Just make sure it's good fats. Non-saturated.

Adjust your carbs to stay lean.

Wow that much? Is that so your body can grow? So what should I be intaking for carbs? I also try to keep those low also.

I am a GIRL at 5'10 and I take in at least 35-40g per day! You need to eat more GOOD sources of fat!

Like???????? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated

Natural Peanut Butter, Olive Oil, an egg yolk here and there, LEAN red meats flax seeds,ect....

aadaam · 06-06-2002, 03:56 PM

How about nuts? Is there something I should look for monosatureaded fat(spelled that wrong)? Or something to that effect.

Check out these threads aadaam. Nuts are great for you. You really do need to increase your fats.

I am a girl @ 5' 4", 120 lbs and I eat 70-90 g fat a day

Nuts (Nuts!)

I knew you'd have something to say about that! LOL I bet I don't rock at this w8! ...actually, if we use the proper scales I'd probably be 125

walken1 · 06-06-2002, 05:40 PM

I also eat a diet extremely low in fat.......just a force of habit, old school bodybuilding. I'm trying to comply with all of the latest research on the importance of consuming enough EFA's for anabolic activity, but I still forget my flax and fish oil supplements sometimes!

aadaam · 06-06-2002, 05:53 PM

How much should I take of the flax seed oil? Should I just bring my intake up to 40 to 60 a day of good fat?

w8lifter · 06-06-2002, 06:04 PM

I would make fats 30% of your total calories. You can choose from sources such as flax seed oil, safflower oil, e/v olive oil, walnut oil, hemp oil, etc. & peanut butter, nuts, egg yolks, full fat mayonaise & cream.
