Ok to mix olive oil with protein?

**tallguy23** · 07-25-2008, 06:45 AM

I am working on my diet for when school starts. I have classes from 7:30-11:45 straight. I get a 2 minute break at 8:35 and 9:50. At 9:50 I was going to down a quick shake before my lunch break at 11:45. My shake would have a little over 500 calories since I will be cutting at 3500 calories. I would use 48 grams of isolate, 54g carbs from ground oats, and 8g fat from oilve oil all mixed in a shaker. I mixed one up today and it wasn't bad. Drinking it down in 30 seconds is the hard part. Any other sugestions?

Use flaxseed oil instead of olive oil bro.

Can you buy flaxseed oil at the store in a liquid form? I know you can buy the gels caps, but I don't think I can eat 11 of them to get the 11 g of fat I need.

Nothing wrong with Olive oil.

isn't flaxseed healthier than olive oil? and olive oil can't taste too good mixed with protein

olive oil actually doesn't bother me taste wise. I highly doubt ground oats and isolate powder will be coming to any resurant near you.

I use olive oil mixed in if I'm out of flax. I also use UDO's oil too.

olive oil is ***** 9 rich which you get plenty of and is made by the body from the food we eat. why not use an ***** 3 or 6 in its place to balance out the ratio better?

I just use olive oil with added ***** 3s. They sell it in the store.

for about 6-8 months now ive been dumping olive oil into my protien shakes, i use it for everything, the extra virgin kind has a bad taste i just get regular pure olive oil and u cant even taste it whatsoever.
