Flax vs All natty PB

**aspengc8** · 06-15-2005, 09:50 AM

I know flax is probably a better all-around source of EFA, but dayam, All Natty pb with choc whey is hella good!! Is it ok to have this twice in a day instead of flax twice with shakes? Anyone else finding this taste so damn good in a shake!

That sure does sound good, whats the ratio of pb/whey?

**aspengc8** · 06-15-2005, 10:09 AM

I usually do 2 big tablespoons of PB and 2 big scoops of whey. Tastes like liquid resees' cup, with only 1 or 2 total G of carb.

If you are concerned with getting you proper amount of EFA's in Natty Peanut butter alone won't do it. Natty Peanut Butter is high in Omega-6's but it doesn't have Omega-3's. Thats why people like to include Flax, which i believe has about a 2:1 ration of Omega-3 to Omega-6!

Thnx for the info Giantz. I've been taking my Tablespoon of flax in my last shake before bed. Ever since I've started adding fats in (from flax and natty pb), I started noticing my bodyfat is decreasing. The only carbs I take in, aside from green veggies, is a 1/2 cup oats in morning, and PWO shake dex.

Sounds good....But you are prolly gonna need more carbs PWO....You should have a PWO shake with dex and follow that with a PPWO meal with a carb like rice, yams, oats etc...In the same ratio as your PWO shake. You'll need to tweak your diet so that it fits your macro breakdown.

I put natty pb in my chocolate whey shakes. Absolutely delicious. I throw in a banana too. That's the shiznit.

big tex...... i thought u werent supposed to mix carbs and fat?? in your shake you are using protein, carbs(banana, oats) and fat....whats your opinion???

**Alpha-Male** · 06-17-2005, 06:11 PM

When bulking...sorry should of said that. I do normally always seprate them in ALL of my meals but for some reason I seem to be able to get away with it with my first meal of the day so I just go with it. Now if I'm trying to diet down or back when I'd be getting ready for a show I'd never even think of doing it.
