When Is Fat Necessary?
I keep my fat intake to around .25g per pound of bodyweight.
I dont use flax oil or EFA's, but I am wondering if these are necessary and beneficial to add to my diet.
My current sources of fat are mainly penut butter in my protein shakes, cottage cheese, some in my protein bar. That is all that I am guaranteed everyday, although some days I may eat something else with fat in it. | | Reply » When Is Fat Necessary? |
EFA's are very important to a number of processes in the body. You're getting some EFA's already in your peanut butter. But you get little to none of the Omega 3 EFA's in PB. And Fish Oil contains a more bioavailable form of Omega 3's than Flax Oil.
Also, believe it or not, even the evil saturated fats have been shown to be beneficial to total as well as free versus bound testosterone levels.

Thanks for the response. I eat about two cans of tuna once every three days or so, and i eat salmon about twice a week. Canned tuna in water contains the Omega3 fats correct?

Essential fats are required for fat soluable vitamin and mineral absorption, hormone production, proper nervous system functioning and many other physiological functions. Get your sources from omega 3,6,9, and efa. Good fats hepl promote high density lipoprotein(good cholesterol) and omega 3 helps to reduce low density lipoprotein(bad cholesterol).
