You always want to keep your sat. fat to a minimum but you still need some.

Thanks Jodi for the article. I knew if anyone could answer it, it would be you....

No more than 10% of your total cals.

i'd say no more than 2%

saturated fat is the nasty fat shit

i don't touch that, unless i cheat or something

peace

^^^ Uhh..did you read the article? Saturated fat is necessary for the body...I supplement with 5-10g of coconut oil daily....I recommend it to everybody...try stir-frying with it, it's amazing....

Peace.

okay i read the article

whats a good source of saturated fat then?

mcdonalds? pizza? ice cream? hmm... it all sounds a bit silly to me to need to supplement your sat. fats

surely i get plenty of saturated fat already in my diet

plus theres a bit of it on the tops of my legs still

10% or less is what the "standard" recommendation is.

I say about 2% also if you can.

Sat fat is not essential.

Essential fats are alpha linolenic (omega3) alpha linoleic (omega6)

We can synthesize whatever else we need in our bodies.

I add 2 teaspoons of Connola/Olive Oil to my PWO shake... Thats 4 grams of sat. fat, and 24 more grams of other fats... Alot of EFA's.. Im bulking so I don't mind the excessive fat.

Coconut oil, is a saturated fat that has a tonne of health benefits. It contains anti oxidents and lauric acid which is vital to one health.

I wouldn't consider McFats a good source, but saturated fat from beef is a little different. And if you are talking about the fies, hello Trans Fatty.

Canola Oil and olive oil are bad choices to get your efa's from. Canola oil contains mainly n-6, and it is processed to the point where the actual fat may already be oxidised. Also try to keep fat to a min in your PWO shake as it will slow the absortion of the whey. Have it in the meal after. Fisl and flax are more ideal for your EFA, but don't exclude Olive oil as it has oelic acid and is composistion is mainly monosaturated which has a health benefits as well.

now this is from PubMed and it is a link that I got from AL site, but is vewry interesting to say the least to all those that cut fat especially saturated fat to low when cutting

Dietary fat type and energy restriction interactively influence plasma leptin concentration in rats.

Cha MC, Jones PJ.

School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition, Macdonald Campus of McGill University, Ste Anne de Bellevue P.Q., Canada.

To investigate whether dietary fat source and energy restriction interactively influence plasma leptin levels and its association of leptin with insulin action, rats were fed diets containing either fish, safflower oil, or beef tallow (20% wt/wt) for 10 weeks. Groups of rats consumed each diet ad libitum or at 85% or 70% of ad libitum energy intake in a design that held fat intake constant. Graded levels of energy restriction caused body weight to decrease (P < 0.001) differently according to the dietary fat provided. Plasma leptin concentrations were 60% higher (P < 0.05) in the groups fed fish oil and safflower oil ad libitum compared with those in the beef tallow group, despite smaller perirenal fat mass and fat cell size in the fish oil-fed animals. Energy restriction resulted in a 62% decrease (P < 0.05) in leptin levels in fish oil- and safflower oil-fed rats, whereas no changes were observed in beef tallow-fed animals. Plasma insulin levels were lower (P < 0.05) in the fish oil group fed ad libitum compared with those in the two other diet groups. These data demonstrate a hyperleptinemic effect in animals consuming diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty acid, which can be normalized to the level of saturated fat consumption by mild energy restriction. Thus, dietary fatty acid composition, independent of adipose tissue mass, is an important determinant of circulating leptin level in diet-induced obesity.
