 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | A while ago I remember reading a post on here that said that you should aim for no more than 1% of your calories from saturated fat. I remember bualking at the time. This guy claerly doesn't agree with it either... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-24625808 | ||

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | It's interesting to see the British Heart Foundation expert questioning this however can an organisation with a major corporate deal with Flora Pro Active still be trusted to give impartial advice on the effects of saturated fats? | ||

 the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | Personally I aim for 40% of my calories from fat, 50% of those from saturated fat. (So 20% overall) Could bang on about fat soluble micronutrients, saturated fat's role in the creation and repair of cells, energy systems and overall cholesterol and heart health but I think most people are fully aware that, even training aside, a BALANCED diet includes all aspects of natural foodstuffs. | ||

Member 3831, 75 posts | Post Edited: 23.10.2013 @ 14:14 PM by NeilD As has been said the scaremongering over saturated fats has been all but dismissed except by our government  Personally when it comes to fats im more concerned about balancing omega6 : omega3. Most people are deficient in omega3, especially DHA/EPA. If anyone is extremely bored and has 7 mins to waste i did do a little vid on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oym4DAv83oA | ||

 Member 735, 1193 posts SQ 220, BP 135, DL 235590.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | I feel the rule of thirds works well - a third of your energy intake should be fat, a third of this is SF, another third mufas, another third pufas. | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz.

Even thats too complicated; Eat enough to maintain weight. Eat less to loose it. Eat more to gain. I admit if your a pro bber these complicated equations may need even more refining. | ||
