olive oil????

[peerchek]

i've been reading so much about olive oil on here, why do so many people use olive oil in recipes? I know it has alot of fat and sat. fat, Is it good for bulking? what about cutting? thanks bros.

doesnt have a lot of sat fat at all. has barely any..like 2grams or something. if you must use oil, olive is best. canola works too. flax can't be used for cooking.

ok, well what about extra virgin olive oil, polyunsat. fat and monounsat. fat are in it, are those good or bad fats?

 

[pintoca]

olive oil is good, just try to compensate with flax or nuts... trick is not to use only 1 type of EFA

 

[anthrax]

Olive oil = mostly monounsaturated fatty acids, which are good

great for bulking... for a meal you can have some chicken breasts some broc. and a tablspoon of olive oil... olive oil is calorie dense as hell... something like 130 cals in a tabl. spoon

It's a good source of Fats, plus it's an easy way to get Fats.
