Question about UDO'S OIL

[jmacguff]

hi. i'm doing great on atkins, but have always been struggling with fats (that is, keeping it at 65%) - i am quite sick of mayo and have gone as far as drinking 2-3 tbsp of olive oil just to keep up with the percentage. i read somewhere about UDO's oil, so i got myself a bottle of UDO's OIL 3-6-9 BLEND in gel capsule form. (i couldn't really take in the liquid form, as i have mentioned earlier i've been 'drinking' olive oil and i'm over that already!)

here are the info in the bottle:

per serving is 2 capsules. recommended intake: 2 capsules 3x a day (total of 6)

amount per serving:

calories 20
total fat 2g
omega -3 fatty acids 840 mg
omega-6 fatty acids 420 mg
GLA 1.8 mg
omega-9 fatty acids 420 mg

ingredients:
organic flax oil
organic sunflower oil
organic sesame oil
organic coconut oil
organic evening primrose oil
rice bran oil
organic soy lecithin
organic oat germ and bran oil
tocotrienols
in a gelatin capsule


my question is, can i consider this as a fat intake ---as in, can i log it in my fitday account, where it would be counted as fat %? or is this just considered as one of my many daily supplement intake? (i take multivits, vit C, CLA, calcium, fish oil, among others)

thanks!

Re: Question about UDO'S OIL

I have never felt the need to add extra spoonfuls of oil to get my fat % up as following the rules from DANDR always made mine close to the 65%/30%/5% on induction, so wonder what your menus were like that you need to add extra oil (more than you want to eat) to it.

Maybe if you post a link to your fitday account (make it public by clicking on the button at the bottom of the 'profile' page to get the link) someone will be able to suggest a mroe palatable way of increasing your fat intake if needed.

Re: Question about UDO'S OIL

the pills should be fine. in fact - most people don't get their needed value of omega 3-6-9's. The supplement would be just like taking any other omega supplement.

As for your fat - you should try to figure out a way to get your fat intake up through your food. Do you like avocados? that's always a great way to get in some good fats.
cook your eggs in coconut oil in the morning?
for some reason that's all i can think of - but there's tons of ways to get your fats in withOUT drinking olive oil.

good luck!
