natty PB fat intake

[jojo77]

when is the best time to get your good fats (ie natty PB)?

Morning, before workout, after workout, night, when?

Also if I'm about 140 lbs, how many teaspoons of PB approx. should I eat a day?

 

[sawastea]

I normally have it late night

I'd say anytime EXCEPT post-workout is fine...

As for how much you should take, it depends on your diet ratios. What kind of diet are you following? Also, are you bulking or cutting or maintaining?

 

[jojo77]

just maintaining. and what's the reason to not eat fats after a workout? should I just have a PWO shake?

 

[Stryc-9]

Too much fat post-workout will only serve to slow down absorption which completely defeats the purpose of the post-workout shake. Protein and carbs with minimal fat are what you want at that time.

You still need to tell us what your ratios are....

Unless you're obese you can probably maintain at 14 or 15 calories per pound of bodyweight. That's between 1960 and 2100 calories daily. This is really a generalization though and you'll need to consider activity level, genetics, etc., but it's a safe place to start.

But like I said....what are your P/F/C ratios?

 

[jojo77]

well I'm not a hardcore bodybuilder but I am learning more on nutrition from this board. I'm kinda following Babyface Assassins eating regimen since he's about my size. His PFC was like

200 protein
200 carbs
60 fats

I don't know about 200 g of protein but I try to eat at least 140 gm a day. And I would like to get a little bit more ripped in the abs.

 

[Stryc-9]

Sounds good...

Well there you go then. 60g of fat a day is your limit - so just figure it out from there! If the natty PB was the only source of fat in your diet you could get away with 3 TABLEspoons daily.....check the label to be sure. Mine has 18g of fat per tablespoon.

 

[IJ26]

its 18 grams of fat per 2 tbsps
