oil chart - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Here is a break down of oils. We want the essential fatty acids of omega 3s and 6s mostly in our diets.

I have been looking for a chart like this for years.

Anyone notice the saturated fat in olive oil?

I heard along time ago that beef tallow has one of the best ratio's of fat that you can eat. Notice the low percentage of Omega 6's there.

Crazy thing is I heard lard is great to cook with (similar to tallow), holds up the best as heat can turn some fats into trans fats (not good).

Most people think butter is all saturated fat too, just like people also think olive oil has no saturated fats either.

Great chart Peg.

Butter is my cheat fat.
It's just so good with garlic on a piece of whole wheat bread toasted.

They do have a new "butter" out called Smart Choice that tastes very similar to butter and does not create the free radicals that margarines do.
I did like that post you had on butter Hackskii.
You should make that a sticky.

Nice post! Yo Hacks, Saturated fats are what help create the hormones in our bods right like Testosterone? Would that mean that adding something higher in saturated fats would help to make your body more anabolic?

Nah, it think it is more like those defficient in saturated fats or a low fat diet can have lower test levels.

It seems to me that carnavores have leaner more muscular bodies.

Sounds good to me.

BIG-UNC · 11-06-2006, 10:12 PM

me too!

would i be right in saying the better ones are safflower & flaxseed?

they have the best ratios of omega 3 & 6

**hackskii** · 11-06-2006, 10:18 PM

Most people get too much Omega 6 in the diet so the only fat I would replace is the Omega 3 and that is in the form of fish oils.
So to bring better in line with 3 to 6's then the ratio is more like 1/1 to 1/4 3 to 6 fatty acids.

great chart Peg you are definitely a asset to the board...

**hackskii** · 11-06-2006, 10:34 PM

I have seen many charts but none are so well broken down and easy to read.
I have been looking for a chart like this for 2 years.
I even have been taking notes on fats on the ratio's of fats but now I can toss my notes.

Fish oil caps are probably the easiest way to get the omega 3s that we need, but I do believe in the fact that the body needs variety or else only one thing in nature would have the omega 3s.

I like flax seed oil as I use it for cold marinades, vinegarettes, protein drink.
I love to sprinkle flax seeds in my salads, on my oats, in my cookies (biscuits for you blokes) on my vegies or anything that a slight crunchy texture is desired and welcomed.

BUT, I do take my fish oil caps every day on Hackskii's recommendation and because it's easier than cooking fish!!! LOL! I really should eat more fish.

Omega 3s are predominate in the following fish.

I eat salmon every day and get 6 fish oils caps too

I also add some extra virgin olive oil to most of my meals

You damn right the body needs variety, this is another reason I need to get a girlfriend on the side.

I dont think flax stackes up to fish oils and is more expensive. Seems it takes ALA to convert flax to Omega 3, the fatty acid profile of Omega 3's are far inferior to fish oils.
