I may have been confusing how I put it. I guess I mean, if you cheat, is it better to cheat more on the pro side than fat? Seems like the fat is more of a testosterone food... idk
I would actually say it would be better to cheat on fat, not protein. The boy swayers are eating a lot of protein.
ok! just was wondering! thx!
I believe fat sways the most, particularly saturated fat, and protein is a better cheat.
We don't know and it may very well be different for everyone anyway. We are all coming into this in different places on the physical condition continuum and so I cannot give a blanket recommendation on that.
hmmm, I have always had a lot higher fat in my diet than protein, and I have two boys, so maybe for me it's fat- bummer. I like my fat, and it is harder to cut down than protein!
and I can't find many foods that don't have saturated fat. =/
You need SOME sat fat. Just reduce how much you consume, and when possible, it's better to get it from plant sources (coconut, palm) than red meat/fullfat dairy. Better yet, dnt just reduce sat fat, eat more polyunsaturated fats. While I believe monounsaturated fats sway boy too, they sway less than sat fat IMO. So an ideal sway will have low fat overall (max 30% of your cals), with most fat consumed being poly, less being mono, and the least being sat.
Most frozen vegetarian food I find is high in the bad fats (vegetable oils, sunflower oil, etc) and low in healthy oils. I like organic brands - Evol, Amy's, Cedar Lane, etc. I also cook now with vegetable oil instead of my usual coconut oil, butter, or ghee. Example meal - fried rice (fried in a tiny amount of vegetable oil) with red peppers and pineapples. I add chicken after I serve myself for my DH and DS. I'm not great in the kitchen so my meals are either frozen or very basic!
