i find that when cutting i tend to need more fats. So i supplement with efa's just some flax and the occasional piece of salmon. It tends to help me lose more fat and retain more muscle. Just try it and see if it works for you. Just use some flax over your salad as a dressing or if you can stomach it you can just drink a tbsp of flax YUG

I like solgar efa softgels-take 6 a day

is 1whole a day good also or 1tbsp olive oil?

 

[JayBro]

Yea you are lacking EFA's in that:

Natural Peanut Butter

fresh nuts

Fish

Flax

Cod liver oil

I would add something from that list if it were me.

 

[_jaap_]

it all depends on how much fat you want to introduce into your diet doofy. I tend to get at least 3 tbsp when i cut, but i do tend to eat a lot of fat when i cut the cals

Yeah, I'm the same as jaap -

When I'm cutting I have two or three tablespoons of an omega oil blend every day - or sometimes I'll have a spoonful of all natural peanut butter (extra crunchy - yum!) every now and then...

My latest thing is to mix the oil in with some protein powder and just a little bit of H20.....so it's like a pudding.....OmG!! It tastes so damn good...

I also love the fullness I get in my muscles when I up the fat intake....it's great!!
