Quick question on Olive Oil

[Bam Bam]

I know this belongs on the diet board but I am fixing to leave and go to GNC which is 100 miles from here so I needed a quick answer. I didn't figure anyone would be on the diet board right now. Is olive oil an acceptable fat like flax seed oil? Or should I only use flax oil? Thanks, Bam

olive oil is an excellent source of fat....it's mostly monounsaturated

Virgin olive oil is good.

Olive oil is the bomb. I would use both though. They are both good fats, but they contain very different fatty acids. flax is almost a pure polyunsaturated fat, and it higher in omega 3 fats than it is in omega 6 & 9. Olive oil is a pure monounsaturated fat. Both are beneficial to gaining lbm and lossing bodyfat.
