Are sunflower seeds ok to snack on during a cutting cycle?

get flax seed insteads - omega3's > omega6's

Unless you're shredded already, is onetype of omega over another really going o have a huge impact on fat loss?

 

[Nighthawkk]

They contain lipids from a plant source, so if you're on some sort of keto-related cutting diet, they'd be just fine

I eat lots of raw seeds & nuts while cutting & bulking, excellent stuff year round.

With proper portion, they are very good for you in health terms, that's all i know, not sure on "cutting" terms though.

of course they would be quetionable as part of a cutting diet
but anything could be

i believe if they are incorporated into the daily diet they can be very beneficial
and the benefits outweight the caloric load of sunflower seeds
but i am of the belief that one needs beneficial fats which sunflowers are one of that genra

back to cutting

depends on you definition
if you go traditional and go lo fat and carb well nix sunflowers but if you believe you can lose fat by keeping fat then sunflowers can be your lil pals
