Title: Source of fats: Oils? Give your preferred choice.
Post by: Faust on October 24, 2007, 11:42:42 AM

I'm thinking about upping my fat intake a bit, adding a spoon of oil to my protein powder, or to my rice.
I'm already eating some nuts, taking fish oil (2g/day).

So i'm thinking walnut oil would be a good source for some extra omega-3s.
Or maybe flaxseed, which is a bit cheaper?

Can somebody give me the pros/cons of this?
Anybody add other oils to their diet and why?

Olive oil is good and has some decent anti-inflamatory properties if you're doing heavy lifting; some fat from red meat is recommended also for maximizing testosterone production.

i would imagine the source of the oil is better in the biotest formula but it is more expensive. to be honest based on having cla i would avoid it all together.
