Extra Virgin Olive Oil

[BRD]

Hey Guys

New to the board and thought id ask a question about some EV Olive Oil i saw in a health food store it had the words organic unrefined, cold pressed not genetically altered, non-gmo seed stock on the label. Now what i would like to know is if there is any difference between the EV Olive Oil in the super market that has first cold pressing, and all natural written on the label other than the fact its half the price??

Cheers hope someone can help me out here

Is there a difference? Yes.

Is that difference worth the price? Your call.

[BRD]

Thanks for the reply built.
Sorry forgot to mention that im on a cutting diet at the moment so would those differences have any affect on results ?

[Built]

No. None at all.

What's your cutting diet look like? I cut on high-ish fats. Is this what you're doing too?

[BRD]

The ratios im on at the moment are Protein 47.3 % Fats 26.4 % Carbs 26.3 %
Was thinking the protein was too high maybe ?

The ratios don't matter. Just the levels.

How many grams of protein? of fat? What do you weigh? Rougly what LBM?

My first thought is you might want to go lower on the carb, and a lot higher on the fats for a cut.

[Built]

Just saw your edits.

Oh, and when do you train?

[BRD]

262 grams of protein, 146grams of carbs, 68grams fats
Im around 209 pounds.
Heres a little pic hope that can help , sorry about the hair though haha

[Built]

You look great, and I'm old - bodyhair didn't bother my generation LOL!

Eat a bit more fat. Aim for 0.5g/lb LBM or more for fats. You're hitting your protein target.

[BRD]

haha thanks so much for all the help and kind words, means alot

When I cut, I also up the fats quite a bit. First thing in the morning I have a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Oilive Oil and 3 fish oil capsules. I then take 9 more fish capsules throughout the day and then at night I eat cottage cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons of Barleans Flax Oil. I also eat a variety of good fatty foods throughout the day. I lost 35 pounds in 6 months doing this along with a calorie deficient diet.

That stuff is ambrosia.

You need at least 90g of fat. Try throwing some natty pb in there.

ed: and EFAs like Omega 3 fish oil should help you hit the fat target. Carbs are the devil - cheap, tasty, plentiful. I'm having a problem right now with carbs because I'm a broke ass college student and I can't afford any good lean meat.

[BRD]

Cheers for the info guys.
Ive increased the fats to around 90 grams now, it seems to be working well with food cravings and starting to look a little leaner but i guess thats water weight in this short amount of time.

It's amazing how satisfying fats are, hey?

Glad you're feeling a little more comfortable.

[BRD]

Yeah it really is, its good stuff. Yep feeling good now about it all thanks
