Coconut oil

**Newbie1819** · 05-08-2009, 11:17 AM

Whats your take on this? Is coconut oil a sufficient, healthy and easy way to put in calories?

**eatrainrest** · 05-08-2009, 11:21 AM

never used it, what is the fat content per serving and gram

polyun-?
monun-?
sat-?

regardless of the maco-nutrient breakdown,

there are much better sources of fats for bodybuilders than coconut oil.

**Newbie1819** · 05-08-2009, 11:40 AM

well I'm not a bodybuilder but I do train hard for a sport. What would those products be then??

***D7M*** · 05-08-2009, 11:44 AM

bodybuilder or hockey player, sure.

anything that converts to EPA/DHA:

Walnut oil
Almond oil
Pecan oil
Macadamia nut oil
Olive oil
avacado oil
Fish oil

run a search on here for EPA/DHA or similar terms. you'll get tons of hits.

flax is not the best choice.

it is poor at converting to EPA/DHA

ill have to fool around with some of the oils and give them a taste test to fit the shake

***D7M*** · 05-08-2009, 12:12 PM

^ok.

but, really, who cares about taste?

besides, you can just take the oil, then drink your shake.

well, thats true. but how much better off would i bewith say fish oil at night than i would flax oil? i mean is there a significant difference because if not im definately going to be sticking with the flax.

***D7M*** · 05-08-2009, 12:19 PM

lol

you'd be alot better off with out the flax, bro.

do some research.

**Newbie1819** · 05-08-2009, 12:20 PM

How many table spoons of flax oil would you drink a day? or could you drink a day?

What are the ideal times of day?

did you not read the thread? I said twice already that flax is a poor choice, considering there are much better sources of EFA's available.

the amount and times of day would vary on too many factors to give an answer.

**Newbie1819** · 05-08-2009, 12:35 PM

My bad, I misread that...

Where could I find some of the oils you listed in post 5? Grocery store?

**eatrainrest** · 05-08-2009, 12:50 PM

stick to EFA's to be supplemented with meals AFTER pwo with no complex startchy carbs

yes and you know them, Chondricthys are cartilaginous fish(no bone, sharks fall into this category), Actinopterygii are bony fish(most fish you think of), and Sarcopterygii are almost extinct but the two left are lungfish and coelocanths
