Olive oil

Cliff Scherb ·

The main type of fat found in all kinds of olive oil is monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). MUFAs are considered a healthy dietary fat. If you replace saturated and trans fats with unsaturated fats, such as MUFAs and polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), you may gain certain health benefits.MUFAs and PUFAs may help lower your risk of heart disease by improving related risk factors. For instance, MUFAs have been found to lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. But even healthier fats like olive oil are high in calories, so use them in moderation.Olive oil Lean endurance pro tip;

  • Consume olive oil in limited amounts due to the fact that it is 9 calories per gram vs protein and carbohydrates which are only 4 calories per gram. (This can reduce the total caloric load and intake daily.)

  • Watch that the total fat content for the day does not go above 50%. In most cases we try to limit active people or athletes to no more than 35% per day.

  • experts consider omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat found in fish and some plant foods, to be a "smart fat." The other "smart fat" is monounsaturated fat -- the type olive oil is rich in.
